Worldbank conference: Public-Private Partnerships in Education
10 november 2007

The Human Development Network, Education, of the World Bank, has organized an international seminar on the empirical evidence of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in Education. The main aim of this seminar is to examine the impact of PPPs on educational outcomes around the world, with an emphasis on less developed and developing countries. The organizers have given priority to papers with solid, credible identification strategies. The program consists of six papers and three research proposals that will be discussed. In addition, a policy forum with providers has been organized, along with an investment forum that brings together major financiers of education programs. The program is aimed at researchers and project task teams.

The Organizing Committee consisted of Harry Anthony Patrinos (chair), World Bank; Paul Peterson, Harvard University; Elizabeth King, World Bank; and Felipe Barrera-Osorio, World Bank.
