Developed by the Women's NETWORK, a group representing women serving in state legislatures in the United States, this report examines how the private sector is involved in promoting learning readiness at the preschool level. The report begins with an introduction and a discussion of the importance of learning readiness as a national goal. The changing nature of private involvement in learning readiness is examined, and several programs sponsored by private sector employers are described, including programs developed by Honeywell, Kodak, American Bankers Insurance Group, and Texas Instruments. The report then describes several examples of states that are supporting learning readiness activities as well as school and business partnerships. Implications for state legislators are outlined in the concluding section of the report, which urges state legislators to sponsor programs that foster learning readiness and encourage private sector involvement in this area.

Businesses, philanthropies and non-profit entities are increasingly successful in capturing public funds to support private provision of schooling in developed and developing countries. Coupled with market-based reforms that include weak regulation, control over workforces, standardization of processes and economies of scale, private provision of schooling is often seen to be convenient for both public authorities and businesses. This book examines how the public subsidization of these forms of private education affects quality, equality and the realization of human rights. With original research from leading experts, The State, Business and Educationsheds light on the privatization of education in fragile circumstances. It illustrates the ways in which private actors have expanded their involvement in education as a business, and shows the influence of policy borrowing on the spread of for-profit education. Case studies from Argentina, Bangladesh, Brazil, China, India and Syrian refugee camps illustrate the ways in which private actors have expanded their involvement in education as a business. This book will be of interest not only to academics and students of international and comparative education, but also to education development professionals in both the private and public sectors, with its empirical assessment of case studies, and careful consideration of the lessons to be learned from each.

Education privatization is a global phenomenon that has crystallized in countries with very different cultural, political, and economic backgrounds. In this book, the authors examine how privatization policies are being adopted and why so many countries are engaging in this type of education reform. The authors explore the contexts, key personnel, and policy initiatives that explain the worldwide advance of the private sector in education, and identify six different paths toward education privatization—as a drastic state sector reform (e.g., Chile, the U.K.), as an incremental reform (e.g., the U.S.A.), in social-democratic welfare states, as historical public-private partnerships (e.g., Netherlands, Spain), as de facto privatization in low-income countries, and privatization via disaster. Book Features: The first comprehensive, in-depth investigation of the political economy of education privatization at a global scale.An analysis of the different strategies, discourses, and agents that have contributed to advancing (and resisting) education privatization trends. An examination of the role of private corporations, policy entrepreneurs, philanthropic organizations, think-tanks, and teacher unions. “Rich in examples, careful in its analysis, important in its conclusions and recommendations for further work, this book is a vital, rigorous, up-to-date resource for education policy researchers.” —Stephen J. Ball, University College London “Few issues are as significant as is education privatization across the globe; few treatments of this issue offer both the breadth and nuanced understanding that this book does.” —Christopher Lubienski, Indiana University

The American Enterprise Institute and the National Institute of Education commissioned six authors to prepare papers examining the barriers and incentives to private-sector involvement in public schools. These authors include representatives from two corporations, a former school superintendent and academic, a state policy analyst and attorney, and an official from a teachers' union, as well as a public policy analyst. This document reports on the conference at which these authors presented their papers, beginning with introductory remarks concerning the conceptual framework in which the business-school collaboration can be viewed and brief interpretations of the conceptual attitudes of each of the authors. The document then presents transcripts of the introductions made at the conference itself, of the authors' remarks concerning their papers, and of the discussions following the presentation of the papers. The document concludes with abstracts of the six papers presented. The central topics of the six papers and their authors are as follows: (1) conceptual frameworks for thinking about private sector-public school collaboration (Marsha Levine); (2) incentives for the barriers to collaboration from a labor education perspective (Maurice Leiter); (3) a school superintendent's view of business-school relationships (Larry Cuban); (4) legal aspects of business-school relations (focusing on equity); (5) one corporation's commitment to quality education (Susan (Schilling); and (6) corporate responsibility in the context of rapid change (Badi G. Foster). (PGD)
