1 Introduction -- 2 The Creation of an International Education Sector -- 3 The Origins of International School Groups -- 4 Government Policies and the Shifting Place of International Schools in the Education System -- 5 Economic Planning, Education Policy, and International Schools -- 6 The Business of International Education -- 7 International Education Goes Global: Transnational Education Corporations as Global Actors -- 8 Conclusion.

This book offers a first look at transnational education corporations, new firms that operate international schools. The quiet rise of transnational education corporations - or TECs - has implications for education systems around the globe, as corporate interests gain a greater stake in the way schools operate. The story of their ascendance links government policies in one corner of the world with profound effects in others. In the past decade, TECs have burst onto the international schooling scene. Private firms, publicly listed firms, and private equity groups have transformed international education into an industry valued at over USD 30 billion. Nowhere has the impact been stronger and more sudden than in Asia. The top three international education firms with a presence in Asia run more than 20 schools in East and Southeast Asia with another six in India. Each educates tens of thousands of students around the globe and has an annual revenue of over USD 300 million. TECs offer a window onto the creation of new markets and the complex positions of governments in regulating social affairs. This book helps readers to understand who these firms are, what they do and how they have grown.
