Privatization in education has become a widely accepted concept that can be understood and applied in educational practice in many ways. The reasons for privatization and its forms differ at different levels of education in educational systems. The aim of the bachelor thesis is to study and analyse the trend of privatisation in education and its positive and negative effects on education policy. The objective is to compare Slovenia with selected European countries in order to identify good and bad practices of privatisation in education and to assess the link between privatisation and budgetary resources. The research is based on qualitative methods, including descriptive, compilation and case study methods. The analysis includes a review of domestic and foreign literature and a comparative analysis between Slovenia and selected countries. The comparative method is also used to identify similarities and differences, as well as the synthesis method to synthesise the findings. The findings of the research show that the trend towards privatisation in education is increasing, mainly due to globalisation and the influence of international organisations. Privatisation brings both advantages, such as increased efficiency, and disadvantages, such as reduced equity in access to education. Slovenia has a lower rate of privatisation than some other European countries. The results of the survey are useful for education policy makers as they provide insights into the impact of privatisation on the education systems of other European countries. The comparative analysis allows for the identification of good practices that can be applied in Slovenia and highlights the risks associated with privatisation. The findings are also relevant for future research in the field of education policy.
