I am told that there is a remarkable private university in Guatemala. It is much bigger than Britain's only private university, Buckingham, although the population of Guatemala is much smaller.
Apparently it has had 12,000 students but it is hiving off the purely vocational courses and then will be left with 3,000 students - still far more than Buckingham (although I don't mean to insult Buckingham at all. It is an admirable institution. I just mean to emphasise how remarkably successful this university in Guatemala has been.) Apparently it is very free-market oriented with rooms named after people like Hakek and Milton Friedman.
This is on the front of its home page:
The mission of Universidad Francisco Marroquín is to teach and disseminate the ethical, legal and economic principles of a society of free and responsible persons.
Its website is here.
