Conséquences de la privatisation de l’éducation pour les enseignants des pays à faible revenu

[Autom. eng. transl.] The role of the private sector is at the heart of the Education 2030 agenda, particularly in the countries of the South, where the phenomenon is rapidly increasing. Several policies promote the participation of the private sector, namely: creation of schools under contract, establishment of voucher systems, subcontracting to private schools or promotion of low-cost private schools. So many solutions which, if they do not all obey the same imperatives, are generally presented as an effective means of widening access to education and also improving the quality of the education system, encouraging innovation and / or promote the diversification of education. The present document, which draws on the most recent scientific studies and covers as far as possible the five geographical regions of the ILO, sets out to examine the evolution of the privatization of primary and secondary education as well as its implications for teachers. Its main purpose is not “high-end” private education (elite schools), but the trend that is asserting itself in low- and middle-income countries.
