In this seminar, Priya Joshi analyses the consequences of private schooling growth, with a focus on whether there is a competitive effect of private schooling on public schools, how parents choose and private sector perspectives.
Through this lens, Priya's aim is to provide a systemic understanding of the effect of a public-private system. In addition, Priya discusses the implications of her research for other low and middle income countries.
The research utilises extensive survey and interview data collected from Nepal, as well as substantial secondary data analysis.
This event is chaired by Dr Helen Longlands, UCL Institute of Education (IOE).
