“…Across South Asia, it is the same story: in Bangladesh, 2.38 percent of GDP is dedicated to education; in Pakistan, 2.33 percent; and in Sri Lanka, 1.93 percent. Similar figures appear across Asia, Africa, and Latin America (Lewin 2020;Salazar Cuéllar 2014).…”

This article highlights the key themes that animate the critical discourse on private education initiatives targeting poor children in the Global South. Scholars in the field uniformly reject the idea that public-private partnerships, independent private schools, and various subsidy and voucher programs are best suited to addressing underlying issues of equity and quality that plague public education systems in developing world contexts. But they tend to adopt one of two markedly different lines of analysis in drawing attention to the issue. Some scholars, for instance, use empirical evidence to show how low-fee private schools fall short of delivering on promises to address the needs of all children and enhancing basic literacy and numeracy scores in comparison to public schools. Other scholars, however, prefer to map elaborate networks of people and money to reveal how private education in the Global South is guided by power and profit. The paper outlines the moral and analytic interests that guide these two approaches to the challenge private education presents, while also making the case for an additional mode of analysis that would test the democratic and social justice claims that feature in mission statements of larger foundations and institutions that operate in vulnerable societies.

This article highlights the key themes that animate the critical discourse on private education initiatives targeting poor children in the Global South. Scholars in the field remain skeptical that public-private partnerships, low-fee private schools, and various subsidy and voucher programs are best suited to addressing the underlying issues of equity and quality that plague public education systems in low-and middle-income countries. Most, however, tend to adopt one of two different, though complementary, lines of analysis in drawing attention to the issue. Some scholars, for instance, use empirical evidence to show how low-fee private schools fall short of delivering on promises to address the needs of all children and enhancing basic literacy and numeracy scores in comparison to public schools. Other scholars, however, map networks of people and money to reveal how private education in the Global South is guided by power and profit.The paper outlines the moral and analytic interests that guide these two approaches to the challenge private education presents, while also making the case for an additional mode of analysis that would test the democratic and social justice claims that feature in mission statements of larger foundations and institutions set in vulnerable societies.

“…Hal ini senada dengan beberapa hasil penelitian, belanja publik adalah bagian dari sebuah mekanisme penting dalam meningkatkan kualitas pendidikan masyarakat. (Salazar Cuéllar, 2014), perilaku oportunis legislator terjadi dalam pembahasan rancangan anggaran pemerintah daerah di DPRD (Abdullah, 2012) Alokasi anggaran pendidikan dapatmeningkatkan kualitas sumberdaya manusia, pengurangan kemiskinan, dan peningkatan sosial ekonomi masyarakat (Wößmann & Hanushek, 2007), disisi lain penganggaran untuk pendidikan tidak selalu berjalan dengan baik dan sesuai dengan aturan (Dufrechou, 2017), alokasi belanja pendidikan sering dijadikan praktik korupsi (Haque & Kneller, 2015).…”
