    • Cola- isation of schools
      • The private sector is generating education indirectly
      • schools are targeted by private companies because they are kind of product support
        • Through vending machines on school premises and development of brand loyalty through displays of logos and sponsorships, this has been called cola -isation of schools.
    • Blurring the Boundaries
      • Many senior officials in the public sector now leave to set up or work for private sector education businesses.
        • These companies the bid for contracts to provide services to school and local authorise.
    • Globalisation
      • In a globalised work, these are often brought by overseas companies

    • Education as a commodity
      • In the process, education is being turned into a legitimate object of private profit making a commodity to be brought and sold in an education market

        • Teachers paid according to how well they and students do

    • Exogenous
      • Privatisation outside the education system
