Summary:

Privatization of education has become a prevalent global trend, representing a significant shift from viewing education as a public good to considering it as a private commodity. This transformation is closely tied to the modernization of the state under the principles of neoliberalism. A comprehensive analysis, as presented in this book using Ball and Youdell's framework, sheds light on the diverse patterns of privatization in education, categorizing them into two types: exogenous and endogenous. The term 'exogenous' refers to policies that grant the private sector increased rights and authority to deliver education services. On the other hand, 'endogenous' pertains to policies aimed at making public schools operate more like businesses.
