| Summary: | "More than half a century ago, governments worldwide began a trend of introducing various forms of privatization into public education systems. This development, part of the New Public Management (NPM) movement, was heavily promoted by the administrations of the United Kingdom and the United States and was not limited to state education, but rather extended to all other social sectors. The NPM doctrine emphasized placing the customer at the centre of state activities, decentralizing responsibilities to the level of service provision, holding government officials accountable to the community, and evaluating outcomes instead of inputs (Hood 2001).
