New Public

With the onset of new public management, there is a shift in the methods of financing of higher education institutions across the countries of the world, particularly emerging market economies, from public financing to private financing of higher education.1 Many countries adopted this shift very quickly while others have moved towards a gradual shift in adopting new systems to various extents. With the gradual decline in public financing of higher education institutions in developing countries like India, due to the competing demand for public funds and thereby privatization of public higher education institutions to share the cost of higher education to meet the growing demand for higher education, there are many new innovative methods that are adopted to finance higher education institutions. Further, the massification of higher education has encouraged the expansion of private higher education institutions to meet the sudden burst in the demand for higher education. The article discusses the issues and challenges in implementing the innovative methods of financing across the developed and developing countries with special regard to their implementation in a developing country like India.

Private higher education though a relatively recent development in Pakistan has shown very rapid growth. From the year 1983 when the first private university was established there are now more than sixty universities and degree awarding institutions in Pakistan in the private sector. Similar to the trend in other developing countries these institutions, with few exceptions, are of poor quality. While they do play a role in enhancing access to a larger number of students but the government will have to play a stronger role in ensuring that quality standards are met. Private schools set up by philanthropic trusts can be used as a model for development of tertiary institutions.
