Why EdInvest?

There is still more to be done to further expand and improve education. Although government finance and provision of education has resulted in immense national expansion of schooling, its ability to do more is limited financially. In recent years, non-public involvement in the provision of education has been increasing dramatically. EdInvest is thus asking some of the following questions:
  • What is the non-public sector's role in the formulation of national education delivery?
  • How can "operational" consensus force both the public and non-public parties to address the issues of education reform head-on?
  • What is the most appropriate mix for the government in the utilization of its funding, ownership, and regulatory interventions?
  • How can one best measure the efficacy of incentive proposed by a government to promote non-public delivery of education?
