Measuring investment in education

Article Abstract:

Evaluating educational investment in terms of resources or spending is unlikely to reflect on the quality of education. Enhanced school resources which are characterized by minimal competition and the absence of performance incentives will achieve little by way of improving student performance. A fundamental restructuring through the introduction of performance incentives into the school system is likely to achieve the desired student outcomes. In terms of policy, therefore, the first priority in education should be to restructure and enhance ways of utilizing existing resources.
