[ Private education in the European Union.Report a broken link ]
The term 'private education' is often used to express the opposite of ' state education'. Yet in Europe it assumes a very wide range of practical forms. In order that this sector of education systems might become better known, Eurydice published in 1992 a descriptive study of its differing status and patterns of organization in each of the 12 countries of the European Community. The present study is an update of that previous publication. In addition, information on the countries that have since joined the European Union (Austria, Finland and Sweden) is included for the first time.... The executive summary preceding the national descriptions offers a comparative view of key aspects of this kind of education, including the way it is defined, its attendance rates, its legislative framework, the conditions for setting up private schools, the degree of public oversight, public funding, fees, and support to families etc. This comparison is of special interest in demonstrating that, notwithstanding varied definitions and contrasted attendance rates, the approaches of the EU Member States appear to be fairly similar as regards the operational and quality standards and requirements that private schools have to uphold.
