The Rise of Private Education in Europe

The Rise of Private Education in Europe

Morocco World16-05-2025

Private higher education is the most dynamic and fastest-growing segment of post-secondary education, accompanying the twenty-first century. The combination of demand for access to higher education and the inability or unwillingness of governments to provide the necessary support has brought private higher education to the forefront.
Private institutions, which have a long history of development in many countries, are expanding their scope and numbers, thereby increasing their influence and importance in parts of the world that rely heavily on the public sector.
In the current context, it is essential to define the primary parameters and requirements for the private higher education system. Additionally, it is necessary to consider the commonalities between private and public higher education, as well as the challenges that private institutions face. Is the private sector capable of achieving an increase in the number of new forms of responsibility and innovative technologies, as well as developing educational programs, all while doing so creatively?
It doesn't matter whether you are receiving public or private education; there will always be difficulties. If you are a student, you probably often don't have enough time for homework. In this case, you can contact a paper writing service where professional writers work. They will assist you with the tasks that present the most challenges. Netherlands: fee for communication
Here, two-thirds of the schools are private. There is a fairly clear distinction in prices and the purpose of education. Parents have a good idea of ​​what they want their child to be like when they send them to a certain type of school. If we are talking about traditional education and preparation for a local university, such a private school will cost very little. An international school that teaches in English or German, with plans to study abroad, costs more. And a classic boarding school in the English style costs even more.
Most children go to school from the age of four. We could say that in the Netherlands, the effect of school diversity is somewhat different from that in other countries. Each of them is not very large, so children are taught to perceive it not as a place where they study or 'spend time during classes,' but as a single team, a center of communication and unity.
Primary school classes (with the teacher) meet on weekends when necessary, and come up with their own ways to spend time. For example, going to a football match, to the beach, or eating ice cream is not an exception here. In addition to educational excursions, children play sports together. We are not talking about physical education lessons, but about additional visits to the pool and cycling entertainment – these two skills are considered mandatory in a country with many rivers and canals, and where half of the population has two-wheeled transport.
In high school, students often go camping with their teachers (without parents) and celebrate all the holidays.
Parents believe that they are paying (but not sending their children to free state educational institutions) so that children can spend their school years in a mini-community, a mini-society, and, in adulthood, they can easily work in a team, become leaders, and find a common language with different people. Countries where public schools are a minority
In Spain, Ireland, Brazil, Colombia, and Argentina, every third child attends a private school. In France and Great Britain, every fifth. In these countries, it is generally believed that only a private school can provide a good future. Therefore, parents save money and 'book' places in advance. If a child has to go to a public school, the only requirement is to keep them safe, like in a storage locker. In some countries, such as Germany and France, free public education is not a privilege, but an obligation. Therefore, if a student does not attend classes and their parents do not provide an explanation, the police may come to their home in a week and, under arrest, fine the parents or force the child to attend class.
In Spain, private education is not cheap. However, these schools guarantee admission to universities both in their country and abroad. Elite schools, which are even more expensive, offer the most amazing options, such as music lessons from a famous musician or the services of an image specialist.
However, public schools in Spain, as they joke here, resemble bomb shelters due to their bulletproof windows, high fences, and numerous locks. Classes are overcrowded, but the premises are mostly renovated, with comfortable furniture.
British education is classic. But parents criticize public schools, and there is a small number of them. Children can wait for years for a place, and their names are added to a waiting list.
In Britain, there is a gap between the level of education in schools of different formats. Free diplomas are literally and figuratively worth nothing, while paid diplomas, which require significant effort from the student, often lead to success in life. What do they pay attention to?
Parent surveys prove that most often, private schools are chosen for the following reasons: Students demonstrate better results here. They examine the school's reputation, which confirms that private schools typically hold the highest positions in international rankings of educational institutions. Public schools in these countries do not provide sufficient knowledge for university entrance – additional preparatory courses and tutors are required. Individual approach. Private schools are more responsive to the wishes of parents, as they have more autonomy and do not want to jeopardize their reputation. More opportunities for self-realization and testing of abilities: a large selection of additional classes and electives provides the child with the opportunity to study subjects they are interested in.

ONEE Secures €300 Million from European Partners for Grid Expansion

Doha – Morocco's National Office of Electricity and Drinking Water (ONEE) announced a new €300 million financing package on Thursday. The funding comes from the European Investment Bank (EIB), German Development Bank (KfW), and European Union (EU). The announcement came during a high-level visit to the 270 MW Jbel Lahdid wind farm in Essaouira province. The site visit was led by EIB Vice President Ioannis Tsakiris, KfW board member Christiane Laibach, and EU Delegation Deputy Head Daniele Dotto. The financing aims to improve renewable energy integration by strengthening Morocco's electrical grid. The EIB will provide €170 million, while KfW will contribute €130 million on behalf of the German government. The funds will support ONEE's investments to modernize and expand the national electricity transmission network across 731 kilometers. This expansion will increase the grid's transmission capacity by 1,850 Mega Volt Amperes. These investments will enhance supply security, reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 390,000 tons of CO2 equivalent annually by 2030, and stimulate growth in multiple regions. The project will also strengthen the national grid's resilience against increasing demand and climate challenges. The financing is part of ONEE's ambitious plan totaling MAD 220 billion ($22 billion) by 2030. Of this, MAD 177 billion ($17.7 billion) are allocated to the electricity sector, aiming to increase installed renewable energy capacity to 56% by the end of 2027. Key projects include developing 12.5 GW of additional renewable capacity, strengthening the transmission network over 700 kilometers, and implementing a 3,000 MW electrical highway spanning 1,400 kilometers between southern and central Morocco.
