A technology company provides tablets and software to every student in exchange for data access and platform lock-in. A private tutoring chain operates "learning centres" within public schools, serving students who can afford supplemental instruction. These public-private partnerships (P3s) in education take varied forms, each raising distinct questions about appropriate relationships between public education and private profit.
