Education privatization has been perceived in developing countries as a strategy to deal with issues of access, quality, choice, and efficiency. To the Malaysian government, education privatization is a partnership to share the costs burden of educating all sectors of society. While education privatization has expanded in Malaysia in recent years, there is no information on comparative costs between private and government schools so far. Because the key stage for students competing for college admission is secondary school, this study compares the costs of private and government schools at this crucial level. This study provides the cost information to inform issues regarding the relative cost-effectiveness of private and government secondary schooling, and the inequity implications of education privatization, thus contributing to the empirical and analytical bases for government policy regarding privatization. Empirical evidence shows that per-student costs of secondary schools are significantly higher in private schools than in government schools. Private resources for schooling constitute a significant part of the total cost of education and are associated with educational inequality for different household income groups and geographical zones. This study documents that education privatization is inequitable as lower-income households have higher economic burden than higher-income households. Finally, private and government schools differ significantly in the ethnic composition of their students. Education privatization raises questions about national unity.Subjects--Topical Terms:
