Private higher education institutions, once a trivial fragment of the higher education landscape, have today occupied a substantial share of the market and postsecondary education. Institutional frameworks and public policies for higher education across countries are not homogeneous. There are institutions for profit and non-profit with differentiated sizes and patterns. The chronological growth story of private institutions varies across nations.

This book provides an original and broad look at higher education across 13 countries, contributing to comparative higher education literature on Canada, Argentina, Poland, Greece, Brazil, France, Colombia, apan, China, India, Mexico, Malaysia and Pakistan.

The country chapters focus on history of higher education (private and public), its structure and current status, factors responsible and forms and types of private higher education, and role of the state (in terms of control, regulation and governance).
