A Message from the Dean of Yale College
Every summer, we are delighted to welcome many hundreds of students from all over the world to Yale. Although your stay with us may be brief, I trust you will explore to the fullest the rich opportunities offered to you in our classrooms and our courtyards, our libraries and our laboratories. As you experience Yale, New Haven, and the community of summer scholars to which you will make your own important contribution, I am confident that you will come to realize what makes our university and our city such extraordinary places.
Our best wishes for a fruitful and enjoyable summer session.

A Message from the Director of Yale Summer Session
Yale Summer Session provides students with a unique opportunity to interact with some of Yale's top scholars and teachers in an intimate environment. We offer a wide sample of the courses taught during the academic year: during your summer at Yale you can delve into the mysteries of molecular biology, learn the rudiments of the Chinese language, create your own digital film, or travel abroad with a member of the Yale faculty. College students find summer an excellent time to fulfill requirements for graduation or to prepare for medical school or graduate school.
Learning at Yale goes beyond the curriculum. Students who reside on campus enjoy a wide range of social and athletic events organized by residential counselors. Chosen from among our most outstanding Yale students, these counselors also serve as mentors and knowledgeable guides to the campus and surrounding areas. You will also learn from your fellow students: Summer Session students come from high schools, colleges, and universities around the United States and the world.

Abstract: The first edition of this pioneering book produced surprising conclusions from research around the world into the extent of private education. Drawing on examples from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, India, Indonesia, Peru, Romania, Russia, South Africa, Zimbabwe and other countries, Professor Tooley gave a snapshot of private education that was unknown to many readers; contrary to expectations, the private education sector was large in the countries studied, was innovative, and was not the exclusive domain of the wealthy. On the contrary, he found that the private sector often provided social responsibility, subsidised places and student loan schemes. Tooley identifies the factors that impede or facilitate the development of the private education sector in various countries, focusing on the regulatory regimes that may impinge upon private education. This led him to conclude with a proposal for the role of for-profit education enterprises in promoting equitable development.In this second edition, Professor Tooley contributes a new preface which shows how his work has developed and extended into other countries. In particular, he provides a fascinating account of how private education is flourishing in China.
