Public Private Partnership for Primary Education in ASEAN

Today, ASEAN moves fast towards the global level in achieving their political, economic and social targets. In 2015, with the AEC (ASEAN Economic Community) it will highlight more as a region than individual countries. In this process, education will be a major issue to uplift the level of the region universally. This paper emphasizes the way that countries can minimize the issues in primary educational development through public private partnership (PPP). The private sector in the region has a vital and strong base to involve and support this. Moreover, it provides benefits for both public and private sectors. Some theories such as Liberal and Conservative ideology, Game Theory and Enforced Cooptation enlighten the major profits of partnering. Scholars, publications of International organization provide more evidence in supporting this argument. Statistics from countries since last ten years strengthen this more. Final results reveal that PPP is a key indicator to minimize the educational gap in the ASEAN region and improves the educational qualities of the low income countries like CLMV (Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam) to accomplish their targets in the education sector.
