Privatization and the right to education 2014, para. 40
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Another document prepared by the UNESCO International Institute for Educational Planning and the International Organization of la Francophonie also highlights similar developments, expressing similar concerns about sweeping privatization in education reducing education to a commodity: "With diversification in the field of education, private providers - international or local - are more and more numerous. International consortiums have [become] specialized in 'selling' education. A number of local figures, including many teachers and even educational authorities, are creating schools for profit, turning to rather wealthy families with slogans extolling the quality [of the school] or are turning towards the disadvantaged public with altruistic slogans, which often hide the profit or political character of their endeavours. One can observe, above all, the emergence of a quasi-market phenomenon.
