PUBLIC–PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP IN EDUCATION: A PROMISING MODEL FROM BRAZIL

Tamo Chattopadhay, Olavo Nogueira

Open publisher page 45 citations

Abstract

Abstract Public–private partnership in education is increasingly viewed as an effective strategy for improving basic education in developing countries. The current paper presents a case study from Brazil about an emerging public–private partnership in secondary education between the State of Rio de Janeiro and two leading Brazilian private corporations. By employing a ‘co‐management’ governance strategy, the partnership leverages resources and technical knowledge of the private sector and offers a qualitatively different mix of academic‐focused and technology‐focused education for Brazil's public school students. The paper argues that the partnership represents a promising model for addressing the challenges of secondary education in Brazil. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
