Privatization and the right to education 2014, para. 84
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- One of the most significant failures of States in the face of the privatization of education is lack of oversight and regulating mechanisms. A potential consequence of the lack of monitoring is that it can create or contribute to a culture that lacks accountability and encourages illegal or exploitative practices. In the absence of a regulatory framework, ill-informed and naive students can be duped by new private institutions that are universities only in name, having been established without credentials and recognition. If a school is not registered with the State, the State has no way to enforce minimum standards, which are set nationally and constitute conditions under which private providers must operate.
