Pathways to Privatization in Education (Contemporary Studies in Social and Policy Issues in Education: The David C. Anch)

For a variety of reasons market-oriented improvement efforts are becoming increasingly visible on the educational reform landscape.

Our objective in this volume is to help the educational community develop a deeper understanding of the privatization movement in general and the major pathways to privatization in particular.
