“…Authors also discuss the impact of inadequate funding on equipment, laboratories and libraries, especially in universities and vocational secondary education (Pertold, 1996;Koutsky, 1996). This emphasis on funding problems is in sharp contrast to the Western sample, where it receives scant attention.…”

“…Surprisingly, this correlation was even strong during the communist era, largely because university education was considered a cultural, rather than social or economic, good (Mateju & Rehakova, 1996). As the number of students in higher education increase (Koutsky, 1996), equity concerns are instead being focused on the high degree of selectivity that characterises Czech secondary education. Perhaps the most controversial topic in recent years for experts, legislators, policy makers and the lay public alike, has been the return of the pre-World War II tradition of gymnasia at the lower secondary level (i.e.…”

“…Research into regulating higher education institutions in countries that are experiencing economic transitions sustains continuous interest. For example, we have seen case studies in Chile, Czech Republic, and Estonia that demonstrate how these countries regulate and restrict what higher education institutions do at the operational level in order to protect public interest and ensure a smooth evolution of the legal system at a time of socio-economic transition (Koutsky, 1996;Tomusk, 2001;and Brunner, 1997).…”

Regulation refers to governmental restrictions over enterprise in order to protect public interest. Research on governmental regulation in China primarily focuses on public utility, and inadequate attention has been paid to regulating college tuition. Currently, although the educational administrative agencies have successfully kept college tuition at the level of the year 2000, the governmental regulation on tuition has not achieved the effects expected because it has not been able to lower college tuition to the level that the public is willing to accept, and it has not established any internal scientific management system in colleges. The ultimate goal of college regulation should be establishing a healthy order among various social groups. After tuition is capped, the priority for constructing a scientific college management system is to define the goals for governmental regulation on college tuition. A feasible option for now is to replace cost analysis with intervention institutions and to improve the situation of asymmetric information.

“…There is a lacuna in the literature on regulation of private education and virtually nothing on regulation of private schools in developing countries, and, in particular, on regulation of private schools catering for low-income families. Research on regulation of education in developing countries and transitional economies tends to focus on higher education (Koutsky 1996, Maxwell, Provan and Fielden 2000, Moja et al 1996, Richardson and Fielden 1997. Conversely, much of the literature that exists in the area of regulation of private primary and secondary education tends to examine private schools in America rather than in developing countries (Foley 1996, Randall 1992, Carper and Devins 1985, Baintron 1983, Diehl 1983, Encarnation 1983, Erickson 1984, Murnane 1986, Smolin 1986, Furst 1985, Hirschoff 1986, Chubb and Moe 1990.…”

The Regulation of Private Schools Serving Low-Income Families in Andhra Pradesh, India

This paper sets out some findings of a research project carried out in private unaided schools in low-income areas of Hyderabad, India. The part of the research project documented here was designed to examine the question: ‘Is the regulatory regime conducive to entrepreneurial action and market discovery’ with particular reference to the low-income schools in Hyderabad. This paper is narrowly focused, setting out the results of pattern matching empirical data with the Austrian economic concepts of entrepreneurship, rivalry, and market discovery. The research discovered that two regulatory regimes exist, one that is set out ‘on paper’ in the Education Acts and associated rules, and another that operates ‘in practice’. That is, there is a combination of regulations ‘on paper’ and regulations existing in an ‘extra-legal’ sector. Generally it was found that the regulations ‘in practice’ are consistent with market principles. Conversely the regulations set out ‘on paper’ are not conducive to entrepreneurial innovation and market discovery. Recommendations for potential policy initiatives include the possibility of legitimising the ‘extra-legal’ sector by introducing self-regulation possibly via self-evaluation systems for the private unaided schools.
