Privatization and Education for All: Unravelling the mobilizing frames

Prachi Srivastava argues that the seeming paradox of privatization within the context of Education for All is a result of the limited number of policy options that were legitimized by key policy actors of the movement, due to its internally contentious alliance.

Abstract

Prachi Srivastava argues that the seeming paradox of privatization within the context of Education for All is a result of the limited number of policy options that were legitimized by key policy actors of the movement, due to its internally contentious alliance. She identifies four ‘mobilizing frames’ that are strategically used to coalesce action around privatization: scarce resources, efficiency, competition-choice-quality, and social equity.
