The call for "education for all" has increased the demand for non-state provision of quality education, and many social entrepreneurs, NGOs and social movements are rising to the challenge. The panel in this WISE 2011 Summit debate (which includes social entrepreneurs) discusses the advantages and disadvantages of non-state providers: their flexibility, opportunities and risk taking, but also their vulnerability to failure and lack of accountability. Most importantly, how can non-state providers and state providers best work together? Is a new social compact necessary between social entrepreneurs and the state to create an innovative model of civil society and enable the scaling up of best practices?
