Abstract:
The 1990s gave new momentum to privatization and this led to increase private schools in Nepal as well. Along with this growth many problems also were observed in the system. Therefore researchers like me have searched and researched those problems and solutions. The researcher has used multiple case studies as the strategy of inquiry where cases were compared and analyzed. This paper also overviews the global experience on private schools. As this paper is more about the research method, it discusses the background of the research philosophy followed by comparative research in education. The paper concludes with the perception of stakeholders on choice, performance and equity following the discussion on some paradoxes of private schools in Nepal.
