Who Decides and Who Provides, Public vs. Private: CGI U 2012 Working Session With traditional government-led education systems often unable to provide all children with a quality education, a wide range of new models have been developed to address education access and quality, including community schools, charter schools, and low-cost private schools. Despite a lack of conclusive evidence showing that one model results in better learning outcomes than the others, a movement pushing fee-based private schools for the most poor and marginalized children has emerged in many developing countries. Since education is generally regarded as a core human right, how can students and universities ensure that the increasing diversity in education funding and delivery mechanisms still provides basic access to quality education? This panel will explore what we can learn from the wide variety of schooling models, and discuss how students can get involved with developing strong national education systems, particularly for children and youth from the most marginalized populations.
