Reflecting on the Private Dimension of State Education

Abstract

What is happening to state schooling requires, on the one hand, the characterization of private entities' participation in state education and, on the other hand, the simultaneous characterization of the way in which state institutions are transforming themselves to promote and facilitate such participation. The demands presented to research today in relation, for example, to the characterization of the private entities that participate in state education, include studies that have not been part of traditional research exercises in public administration, social and education policy.
