RE: Everything In Africa Is An Opportunity For Quick Business! The State Of Education In Africa!!!
education almost in every country is sheer business. I live in Ukrain and graduated from college - everyone could buy a diplom work, cours work and examin good grade. Teachers and administration were bound with corruption. They wanted money.
Education in the U.S. is definitely a business, but it sounds like our system is more sophisticated and regulated. I would say the testing companies are some of the big winners in this game, with publishing companies also doing quite well (and in the case of Pearsons, the testing company and publisher are the same thing). Some private schools are successful, some are not. But there are a lot of regulations to open a school, and there are accrediting bodies to assure that standards are being met.
Gosh, wouldn't know that was the case in Ukraine as well!
Russia the same(I read about this problem). But don't misunderstood - you can graduate without bribe. It's harder and people pay for this.
