Udział podmiotów niepublicznych w realizacji zadań oświatowych na kanwie wybranych form prywatyzacji zadań publicznych

The system of education allows various legal entities to participate in providing educational services. A look at the public administration in the scope of public education reveals not only a multitude and variety of educational services, but also a diversity of administrating entities. We should assume that functioning and organization of schools in the public domain is affected, as a rule, by economic and political circumstances. And it does not matter what legal entity runs such schools or educational facilities. Economic or political problems related to providing educational services depend specifically on current educational policy of state and local government authorities. By virtue of the educational law that envisages decentralization of the state educational services, it was assumed that the local government authorities’ responsibility does not need to mean performing educational services unassisted, but they may delegate their performance to legal entities other than public ones. This paper aims at pointing out the contribution of non-public entities to providing educational services. Relevant questions are asked about the ways of performing educational services and limits to the privatization of educational services contrasted with the responsibility for meeting educational needs of local communities.
