This was the basic idea put forward by the UBP in their agenda.  They didn't take the step of privatizing but did want to move the management of each school to a board of governors who were solely irresponsible for their school. This way removing the top heavy Dpt of Edumacation from the day to day running and streamlining the system.  This is as close as I think we would ever come to a completely privatized education system.

The problem with "public" education almost worldwide is that the G'ment wants control. Why? Because it's a great political tool.. it has nothing to do with educating.. Just POWER!!
