Institutions that deliver higher education are expected to feature a quality framework of generated knowledge that fulfils graduate requirements. One of the major challenges faced by international donors and national governments in developing countries since the 1980s has been to accommodate increased student demand for HE access and, therefore, to develop a better educated workforce. This paper discusses some of the emerging pivotal roles that privately owned institutions in developing countries can undertake to enhance access to higher education. The case of Sri Lanka is used to demonstrate the proposition. In conclusion, the author suggests that privately owned institutions have a positive part to play in charting and enhancing educational frameworks in developing countries.", "keywords": [ "Higher Education Access", "Enhancement", "Quality", "Economic Growth", "Private Sector Contribution", "Education in Sri Lanka" ], "first_page": 18, "last_page": 27, "pdf_start": 19, "pdf_end": 28, "references": [ { "ordinal": 1, "raw_text": "Anon, (2016).
