According to this Stanford article, "The private sector offers more than just deep pockets to the quest for global education; companies have talent, resources, and new ideas to share." All true, but overall I'd rather see more from the deep pockets (after all, they got it all from the techpayers in the first place) and fewer new ideas (after all, they don't have a good track records, and they have an unfortunate tendency to change the objective from 'teach needy children' to 'make more money'). This of course is not the perspective offered in this article, to which I refer you now.
