Knowledge, Learning, Community
One wonders why the Commonwealth of Learning, in an unsigned editorial, is urging the development of a privatized educational system rather than the government-supported systems rather more common in countries such as Canada and Australia. The argumentation is facile and naive, trotting out the usual fictions: the private sector is more efficient, more responsive, and more dedicated to client success. Has the author not been observing the ruins of the private sector recently? Why foist bad economics on countries simply because they are less developed?
