Currently private sector participation is limited to the polar ends of the education spectrum. The private sector has unbridled access to preschool, and increasing liberalisation at the post-secondary level.

In between (Years 1-11), private sector participation is extremely limited and tightly controlled. There is no coherent or comprehensive attempt to rationalise the role of the private sector. The result is a hodgepodge of the various elements instead of a cohesive pattern.
