Paragraph
Paragraph text
In the 1980s and 1990s, developing countries were compelled by the international financial institutions to initiate significant cuts under structural adjustments to their public services, including education. International universal education targets in conjunction with economic liberalization policies have led to the push for an increase in private provision as a way to introduce market competition into the education space.
