The contribution of private sector in the education market; advantages and opportunities

The education market will have a notable growth in the coming years, some experts say. This will happen as a result of multiple factors. These factors mainly include the rising demands, increasing popularity of online learning platforms, population and needs in the market. Meanwhile governments are becoming more obligated to protect education. The education market in developing countries is even growing faster. One of the policies that governments promote is to design and implement stimulating programs for developing the private sector in the education market. They have generally launched a series of dynamisms that aim to increase the participation of the private sector in the education market and to increase the private sector’s market share.

If these policies continue, the private sector will be the dominant side in the education market and this transformation will have some consequences. It may enhance the quality of education and investments in the education sector.  Education sector especially in developing countries is growing fast as people are increasingly becoming engaged in the global educational trends and demands. But the education sector should have access management to resources that are required to satisfy the educational demands. These resources include professional trainers, infrastructures, guidelines and technological innovation capabilities. The investors and private sector agents are moving toward developing educational services. This new path is a key to gaining the competitive advantage and competency in the education market.

The private sector has a significant role especially in developing countries where the educational markets offer broad opportunities and where the government ability to manage this sector is bounded due to many reasons including shortage of required resources. If the private sector can build up a strong base for attracting trainers, the education market will grow rapidly. Private sector can contribute to the education market both directly and indirectly. Providing new educational tools and technologies which are becoming popular increasingly is an indirect aspect of private sectors activities in the education market.

On the other hand, technological developments have drastically changed trends in the education market. These changes have had positive effects on this market and have led to a larger market. Recent unwelcome pandemic made technological and digital developments more popular in education. The closure of educational institute and colleges conducted a direct way to virtual forms of training. This, in turn, meant a greater market and greater contribution to economy. As the number of trainees and applicant’s increases, the market grows larger.

As training and education transform into virtualized form, demands for emerging education technologies increase and this, in turn leads to a more competitive education market. In this competitive market, suppliers will move toward being more innovative and offering trending education technologies. These advances directly link to market size. Technological progress in the education sector ramps up market opportunities. Meanwhile, the advancements in the electronic end user devices industry drive the demands for online education faster than ever.

Increase in demand for online platforms and electronic end use devices results in a rise in the number of the investors and private sector engagement and partnership in this market. This is another aspect of the private sector’s entrance into the education market.

Private sector’s involvement in a variety of educational activities from providing training service to educational technology turns it into an important competitor in the market. Keen competition in the education market leads to a visible improvement in the performance of both sides. In this kind of environment, the actors have to boost up the innovation and creativity in order to differentiate their services and win the competition.  From this point of view, the private sector’s contribution to the education market is advantageous for the education process and its components.

A growing number of research shows that the private sector especially in developing countries has better performance. This sector’s higher performance leads to better training results and greater success. Some part of this achievement is associated with the access to education and technological resources and efficient management styles.

Private sector is extending increasingly especially in emerging economies. This growth creates a base for innovation and creativity in the education market which includes both academic education and professional education.

The innovation and creativity that the private sector has brought up in the fields of academic and professional education owes to the advancement in technology and remote learning developments. Private sector’s advantageous contribution in investments in remote learning technologies plays a major role in changing the provision of education. This transformed educational service brings accessible educational services for everyone all over the world.

The connection of educational technologies and market size especially in developing countries is becoming expanded, and this eases the occurrence of educational justice which provides adequate opportunities for all. All this occurs in accordance with the private sector’s contribution to the education market.
