Historically, higher education has been funded and managed by national goverments in most countries throughout the world. With demand outpacing the
capacity of the public sector budget and infrastructure, most countries now permit the private sector to offer postsecondary training and credentials.

Program for Research on Private Higher Education (PROPHE)
PROPHE is a global network dedicated to building knowledge about one of the most striking tendencies in higher education around the world--the development of large and often vibrant private sectors. PROPHE's knowledge mission focuses on discovery, analysis,
and dissemination, as well as creation of an international base of researchers . PROPHE neither represents nor promotes private higher education.
The core activity is scholarship, which, in turn, aims to inform public discussion and policymaking.
