持续增长的国际教育商品与服务商业市场

The Growing International Commercial Market for Educational Goods and Services

本文对教育产品和服务做出了厘定，并提出两种分支领域的结构；论述了商业活动的规模及其走向；为那些有性区投资该领域的人们检视其机遇与挑战；探讨了几个问题：商业方式提供教育商品与服务是好还是不好？是不得已而之还是必然选择？对于那些不知道如何对此做出适当响应的国家来说，是应该欢迎还是应该抵制这些趋势？

This article defines education goods and services， and outlines the structure of the two sub-sectors; describes the size of commercial activity and its trends; reviews the challenges and opportunities for those who are interested in investing in this area; and asks the question of whether the commercial provision of education goods and services is good or bad， inevitable or not; whether countries， unsure about the appropriate response， should welcome or resist these trends.
