| Summary: | The private sector has provided
investment funding and services for the United Kingdom
public sector schools through output-based contracts since
1996. Under these contracts firms provide accommodation and
related services, while teachers, still employed by the
public sector, provide the core education services. Firms
bid their lowest prices, and payments to the winning bidder
begin only when services become available at the defined
standards. The contracts have evolved from building new
schools, to bundling maintenance and rehabilitation across
many schools, to setting up information technology
facilities under contracts incorporating learning targets
for students. |
