As demand for higher education around the world grows, so do the costs associated with it, especially as governments shoulder less of the burden. Tuition fees rise and student loan debt grows. Who pays for these surging costs? Who \u003cem\u003eshould\u003c\/em\u003e pay?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eD. Bruce Johnstone and Pamela N. Marcucci examine the universal phenomenon of cost-sharing in higher education--where financial responsibility shifts from governments and taxpayers to students and families. They find that growing costs for education far outpace public revenue streams that once supported it. Even with financial aid and scholarships defraying some of these costs, students are responsible for a greater share of the cost of higher education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing comprehensive economic and policy data, the authors' international comparative approach shows how economically diverse countries all face similar cost-sharing challenges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo, who \u003cem\u003eshould\u003c\/em\u003e pay for higher education? While cost-sharing is both politically and ideologically debated, Johnstone and Marcucci contend that, for almost all countries, it is imperative for the financial health of colleges and universities, bringing better efficiency, equity, and responsiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFinancing Higher Education Worldwide\u003c\/em\u003e combines sophisticated economic explanations with sensitive political and cultural analyses of the financial pressures facing higher education throughout the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Johns Hopkins University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47606667608215,"sku":"9780801894589","price":3548.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780801894589.webp?v=1775041848","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/financing-higher-education-worldwide-who-pays-who-should-pay-9780801894589","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
