Finance in Motion releases study on higher education finance
2011-11-07 - Finance in Motion, in cooperation with KfW Entwicklungsbank (The German Development Bank), has released a study on higher education finance. The study aims to provide an overview of existing higher education finance models and schemes and indicates how the increasing demand for student financing could be addressed by innovative private-public partnership models.
It is widely acknowledged that higher education, as education in general, plays a pivotal role for the well-being of societies by improving life chances of individuals and fostering overall economic growth. However, due to declining public resources, many countries have to deal with financing gaps that jeopardize both the quality and accessibility of their higher education systems. Due to tightening government budgets, the private sector, in particular the students themselves, is increasingly sharing in the costs for attending higher education. Hence, there is a rising need to attract private capital to expand accessibility to and quality of higher education systems. In particular, this opens new opportunities for private-public partnership models to mobilize private capital in order to meet the growing demand for student financing schemes.
The publication is part of a larger study on higher education finance in Southeast Europe, which was conducted in cooperation with KfW Entwicklungsbank.
