In the UK the Tories are being paid by private healthcare interests to kill off (privatize) the NHS. Defunding is a privatization strategy.

It's what is happening. Just say it.

Full recording of NORRAG-TISS-Western University panel on 'Private Sector Approaches to Education'.

I speak about the equity issues in the Global South, and a tendency to view education as a technical enterprise. I argue education is a complex and political process and systems are value-laden, requiring a critical examination of supposed resource scarcity and the roles of public and private actors.

What role (if any) for non-state private actors regarding #SDG4 on #Education, and what of evidence? Join us for the NORRAG - TISS - Western University hybrid event, 'Private Sector Actors and Approaches in Education'.

I will address private schooling and low-fee private schooling, with co-panellists, on private investments, corporate social responsibility, diverse partnerships, and philanthropic engagement.

Tuesday, 7 May at 12pm EDT

I wrote a blog on the marketisation of universities. It's prompted by radical cuts at universities in the UK currently and reflecting back on blog posts I wrote between 2010-13 on the privatisation and marketisation of universities. https://lukesnotes.mataroa.blog/blog/on-the-marketisation-of-universities/
