Most frequently, education privatization results from government policies actively promoting either the incorporation of private actors or the implementation of private logics, ideas, and techniques in the public education system. However, education privatization can also occur "by default," resulting from the State's inaction and underfunding in public education, especially in contexts facing a growing demand for schooling. This chapter explores the different manifestations and trends regarding education privatization-especially at the level of provision-in Honduras. The chapter addresses, first, Honduras's long-standing funding challenges regarding public education; second, the few (endogenous) privatization initiatives undertaken by the Honduran State, and third, the growing entrenchment of a series of private actors-for example, corporations, NGOs, and philanthropic organizations-that are filling the State gap in education provision. This chapter maps key dimensions of the phenomenon of privatization in Honduras, which is further interrogated and problematized in subsequent chapters in relation to the role of the State. |
