Given the stark difference in purpose for PPP in education locally and globally, this paper compares Public Private Partnerships in the  education sector of Dubai and other international contexts. It then reports the findings of research that gauged the perceptions of the public in Dubai about the role of PPPs and the changes they have influenced in the education sector.

While there is a highly positive perception, the reports finds gaps that can still be filled by PPPs in order to help the government achieve its National Agenda Goals in education. The empirical evidence from this research can help policy makers respond appropriately to the use of PPPs in the education sector and to develop a strategic framework for future partnerships.
