There is rarely agreement on the roles and methods
of private sector involvement, but there is
agreement that as the demand for high-level subject
based skills and higher order 21st Century skills
continue to grow within schools and beyond, for
future employability, the tasks associated with
transforming traditional models of schooling to
meet these demands are often hidden within the
complex political, social, and educational systems
in which they are so deeply embedded.
Increasingly, the private sector has been
establishing partnerships with governments, nongovernmental
organizations, academia, educators,
practitioners and industry to address the challenges
associated with the numerous education reform
efforts.
