DESCRIPTION:The intention of the project\, Public Private Partnerships and
  the Educational Outcomes for the poor\n(P3EOP)\, is to identify how the p
 oor experience schooling in the public\, private and partnership sectors. 
 The\nterm ‘private’ sector covers all non-state actors with corporate 
 entities\, NGOs and faith based organisations\nall falling into this categ
 ory. These different players are likely to have distinct approaches to edu
 cation\nprovision emerging from their own historical evolution as well as 
 economic motivation. The project uses an\naugmented school-in-community fr
 amework where the interpretation of educational policy by providers and\nt
 he actions and struggles between teachers\, parents and pupils provide the
  social context of education\nprovision.\nThe methodological approach take
 n in this project is that educational choices and conflicts constitute the
 \nreality of education. Schooling that is provided by public\, private and
  partnerships schools in the school\nresponds to demand directives from th
 e parents/ pupils/community and is generated by the agendas and\nunderstan
 dings the providers (teachers/heads/education officials). The project foll
 ows a Hirschman-type\n(exit\, voice and loyalty) analysis to examine how d
 emand and supply aspects of provision are affected by the\nability of pare
 nts\, pupils and providers to use and respond to voice and exit respective
 ly\, in the absence and\npresence of loyalty. This emphasis on the qualita
 tive and the experiential provides us internal constructions\nof exit and 
 voice in the community that is faced by different school types and can be 
 linked to the demand\nand supply factors operate in the educational sector
 .\nOn the Demand Side it is the impact of parents and pupils using the mec
 hanisms of voice and exit that\ninfluence all types of schools. On the Sup
 ply Side the objectives of the providers in the educational sector\naffect
  the outcomes of educational provision as do the shifting enrolments betwe
 en types of schools on\naccount of changing price and non-price changes wi
 thin the school. By using school type and parental\nchoices the project ho
 pes to understand better the political and economic outcomes of an increas
 ing number\nand growing diversity of educational providers within poor com
 munities.
