Higher Education in Dynamic Asia No 5: Expanding Access, Searching for Quality

Asian Development Bank (adb)

No RPS124686, ADB Reports from Asian Development Bank (ADB)

Abstract: Private higher education (HE) growth in Asia has been much more rapid than in other parts of the world. This has led to a reduction in the burden on governments to finance HE with public funds; and diversification of the mission, scope, and role of private HE institutions in offering an alternative to public HE. While several Asian universities are highly ranked globally, Asia is also home to numerous private colleges of poor quality. This publication provides a timely analysis of policies governing private HE and presents operational recommendations for development partners in their support to this field in developing countries of Asia and the Pacific.
