Abstract	The paper focuses on schools that have become known as 'low-fee' private schools and the extent to which they may be considered as part of the phenomenon of globalization. Low-fee private schools are aimed at target market of some of the poorest families in each of the countries, offering basic education for children whose familes are only able to spend a small sum on their children's schooling, and where government provision of schooling is neither adequate nor suitable. The paper demonstrates that what has been globalized is not low-fee private schools, but parental desires for their children to be educated. It is this desire for education and standardized schooling, and the parental wish have their children participate successfully in schooling that has become globalized. (As Provided).
