How do public and private schools differ in OECD countries?

EDUCATION INDICATORS IN FOCUS-JANUARY 2024 05-02-2024 Inspeção Regional Educação

"In 2021, 18% of students from pre-primary to upper secondary level were enrolled in private schools in OECD countries. Enrolment in private schools was more common in pre-primary and upper secondary education than in other levels of education.
Private schools are mostly state funded, with government funding accounting for 58% of total funding on average in upper secondary education. However, this figure masks major differences between OECD countries.
Private schools enjoy greater autonomy and suffer fewer shortages of teachers and educational material than public schools. They were generally better in responding flexibly to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, in many countries private schools contribute to social segregation by enrolling a greater share of students from advantaged backgrounds.
In most countries, the performance advantage of 15-year-old students enrolled in private schools over their publicly educated peers disappears once their socio-economic background and the profile of their school are taken into account."
