“…Higher Education Quarterly © Blackwell Publishers Ltd. 2001 There can be no doubt that the new private HE institutions have yet to establish a favourable public image. They have not so far challenged the perception of their work as of low academic quality, a view which appears to be borne out by their poor research facilities and activities, and less qualified staff (Cox, 1996).…”

In this preliminary review, the authors analyse the effects of privatisation on diversity in higher education (HE) systems by exploring the consequences of the establishment of HE Institutions by non-public organisations. The rising importance of privatisation in Europe (Western and transitional economies), Latin America, and Southeast Asia is analysed. Then follows detailed examinations of private-sector HE in countriesrepresentative of all these geographical areas to determine how far privatisation has stimulated diversity. The preliminary results indicate that in each case the private sub-sector has promoted limited and partial diversification. In general, though, the more recent private establishments, created to satisfy increasing demand for HE, have nonetheless focused predominately on teaching, have undertaken little, or no, research and appear to be of lower quality than the older institutions. The private sub-sector is characterised mostly by its low-risk behaviour, and a concentration on low-cost and/or safer initiatives. Public authorities must share at least a partial responsibility for some of the negative side effects of the development of private higher education.

“…This measure altered the funding arrangements to such an extent that by 1990, only 27% of the cost of higher education was met by the state, down from 100% a decade earlier (Cox, 1996). Tuition fees represented a partial transfer of cost from the state to private sources and ended the tradition of apparently 'free' higher education.…”

“…Since the return to democracy in 1990, Chile has frequently been highlighted as a case study for education reforms because of its endeavours to reconcile the operation of a market in public services, with a concern for equity and social justice within a modern state (Cox, 1996;Brunner, 1997;Navarro and Corvala´n, 2002;Schiefelbein and Schiefelbein, 2002). Successive governments have taken the view that access to higher education should be dependent solely on academic criteria and that no individual or social group should be excluded from higher education for reasons of social class, gender, race or ethnicity.…”

This paper examines higher education policy in Chile after the return to democracy in 1990 from an equity perspective. Chile faces the challenge of implementing equity-oriented policies within the legal confines of an education system constructed under the neoliberal model and introduced by the military government (1973)(1974)(1975)(1976)(1977)(1978)(1979)(1980)(1981)(1982)(1983)(1984)(1985)(1986)(1987)(1988)(1989)(1990). This has resulted in tensions between policy and practice, which have constrained the role of the state in a highly market-oriented system, in its efforts to promote equitable access to higher education. The principal barriers to access are found in institutional funding arrangements, the admissions process and the quality of education at secondary level.

“…No Chile, até bem recentemente, a demarcação entre setores público e privado era muito fluida e havia uma baixa diferenciação de status entre as instituições de ambos os setores (Clark, 1983;Levy, 1986a). As duas universidades estatais e as seis privadas tradicionais três católicas e três laicas eram igualmente financiadas com recursos públicos (Cox, 1996). O repasse público consistia no financiamento incremental baseado em um orçamento prévio das alocações e também em uma fórmula de distribuição de recursos entre as universidades que variava em razão do montante de suas matrículas (Brunner, 1986).…”

RESUMOO artigo trata da relação entre o setor público e o privado em cinco sistemas nacionais de ensino superior: Argentina, Brasil, Chile, Colômbia e México. Em cada país constatam-se dinâmicas muito específicas da relação público/privado em seus respectivos sistemas de ensino superior. Em contraste com o Brasil, onde a expansão do setor privado iniciou-se em meados dos anos 60 e retraiu-se ao longo da década de 80, nos demais países, o crescimento absoluto e relativo das matrículas no setor privado, além de mais recente, ainda não apresentou sinais de esgotamento. Diferenças de timing na expansão do setor privado nos cinco países suscitam questões relevantes sobre a oportunidade da abertura do ensino superior para o mercado e sobre a relação do Estado com os respectivos sistemas nacionais, temas, sem dúvida, centrais no debate contemporâ-neo sobre ensino superior na América Latina.ENSINO SUPERIOR AMÉRICA LATINA ENSINO PARTICULAR ENSINO PÚBLICO ABSTRACT THE PRIVATE SECTOR IN LATIN AMERICA: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS. The article treats the relationship between the public and private sectors in five national systems of higher education: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Mexico. In each country there are very specific dynamics in the public/private relationship and their respective higher education systems. In contrast with Brazil where the expansion of the private sector began the mid 60s and contracted during the 80s, in the other countries the absolute and relative growth of enrollments in the private sector, in addition to being more recent, still shows no signs of exhaustion. Differences in timing in the expansion of the private sector in the five countries invite relevant questions about the opportunity for opening up higher education to the market and about the relationship with the State with the respective national systems. These issues doubtlessly are central in the contemporary debate on higher education in Latin America.Trabalho apresentado na reunião do Grupo Latino-Americano de Estudos Comparados sobre Políticas do Ensino Superior na América Latina em Cuernavaca, México, em 1997.
