It is hard to study the Education Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model because it is hard to measure long-term outcomes and separate the effects of PPPs from other factors that influence them. Furthermore, political and ideological prejudices can affect research as well as implementation, calling for a nuanced understanding of the true efficacy and sustainability of these partnerships. This paper aims to investigate the concept of Education Public-Private Partnership model. The results found that the Education Public-Private Partnership model, reaching common educational objectives requires efficient cooperation and synergy between public sector organizations, private businesses, and EdTech entrepreneurs. Through the alignment of their unique competencies—policy development, funding, innovation, and state-of-the-art tools—these partners can effectively tackle educational challenges from all angles, improve learning outcomes, and increase educational accessibility. This cooperative strategy makes sure that educational initiatives continue to be responsive and adaptive, which eventually results in higher-quality and more resilient educational systems. In conclusion, the Education Public-Private Partnership model emphasizes that successful collaboration between public agencies, private companies, and EdTech entrepreneurs is required to meet educational objectives. By aligning their unique strengths in policy, funding, innovation, and technology, these stakeholders can effectively tackle educational challenges comprehensively, resulting in enhanced accessibility and improved outcomes.
