But "public education" refers to state run/funded schools :)

Also in the UK the "Public Sector" is government organisations.

The "private sector" is for-profit/comercial organisations, many of which are publicly traded comapanies, which is normally shortened to simply "public companies". So you could be a public company in the private sector that provides services to a public school, which is part of the private education sector.

Language is fun.
