INTO is frequently accused of privatising universities’ international recruitment and pre-degree preparation. Is this true?
Privatisation is the process of transferring ownership of business from the public sector (government) to the private sector (business). INTO enters into joint ventures with partner universities. Existing assets remain the property of the university, and new assets are developed using investment capital from the private sector partner. The university is an equal partner in the joint venture. INTO does not privatise but builds transformational opportunities for universities that enable them to retain their assets. Neither is it a PFI. The university does not guarantee revenue streams as would be the case in a PFI.
