Isi artikel

As the domestic market softens, some of the most famous names in British education are building far-flung outposts. Harrow led the way in 1998 by setting up a school in Bangkok. At home, private schools are criticised for perpetuating privilege. Overseas, that may be precisely the appeal. Overseas expansion creates an extra revenue stream for private schools--handy at a time of domestic austerity and falling admissions. The new schools sometimes look spookily like the ancient English ones to which they are linked. Most of the new breed of schools are run by local management companies. Trade-offs with the host culture can be tricky.
