Resum
The privatization of basic education is a global phenomenon growing in all corners of the world. However, education privatization is a multi-faceted process, which crystallizes and evolves in different forms and which eludes simplistic characterizations. This article defines educational privatization and examines its growth in different regions, discussing why it emerged and how it has developed. The article also reflects on the main effects of education privatization policies, with an emphasis on the challenges these policies pose for educational equity and for the public regulation of education.
