Bu iki farklı eğitim modelinin hedefleri ve yapılanmaları her ne kadar farklılıklar taşıyor olsa da ortak noktaları devlet okullarında yaşanan düşük devlet eğitim kalitesini, bürokratik yapıyı ve sosyo-ekonomik nedenlerden kaynaklanan adaletsizlikleri yeni eğitim modelleri çerçevesinde gidermektir.
