Ark’s vision is to give every child a quality education, no matter what their background. We do this in three distinct ways:

#NACSAcon

ACADEMIES HAVE HAD MIXED SUCCESS, WITH SOME GOOD RESULTS FOR THE POOREST

However, perhaps the biggest criticism of the Academy Programme is the lack of a coherent ‘Plan B’.

Top four ”school groups” are two local authorities and two academy chains No longer acceptable to be failing poor students – change in London schools in particular is remarkable Policy focus changed dramatically with a new government

  • Sponsor academies more

AT GLOBAL LEVEL, THERE IS INCREASING RECOGNITION THAT THE PRIVATE SECTOR NEEDS TO BE PART OF THE SOLUTION

The role of private actors is an ideological battleground, but there seems to be some signals that things are changing

  • Glo

lobal G l Goal: l: The Education 2030 Framework for Action, which outlines how to translate global commitments into practice affirms the important role of non-state actors in achieving SGD 4.

  • Ed

Educati tion C Commi mmission: “Better collaboration and partnership between governments and non-state actors” is

  • ne of the EC’s education transformations for a learning generation.
  • Donor s

suppo pport: Alongside the World Bank, DFID and USAID are exploring the role of non-state actors in improving education delivery.

  • A

A shifting d debate: : Organizations which have traditionally been opposed to non-state involvement (such as Save the Children) are increasingly exploring a diversity in delivery.

  • Glo

lobal S l Schools ls F Foru rum: the inaugural meeting held in February 2016 brought together 60+ private operators and investors. The non-state sector remains diverse and diffuse. Donor support to coordinate these actors, fund innovation, and help drive a non-partisan debate on the role of non-state actors is needed.

ARK HAS COMMISSIONED A RIGOROUS REVIEW OF THE EVIDENCE, WITH PUBLICATION DUE IMMINENTLY

Perhaps the clearest finding is that there is limited credible research on ‘charter style’ PPPs globally: – Colombia ‘ ‘Conce cession’ Schools: Bonilla 2011 finds large gains in verbal and particularly math scores. – Pakistan ‘ an ‘Partne nerships for M Manag agement nt’: Malik et al 2015 find gains in learning across Math, Urdu and English in Sindh and Punjab districts There is more evidence on the use of vouchers outside the US and UK, but even here the evidence is limited and mixed: – Chile le: some success on increasing learning outcomes but major issues on the equity of the program and potential for increased segregation – India: studies suggest vouchers can be far more cost effective, but no strong evidence they increase outcomes – Ugand nda: a: increases to access have not be matched by more learning

  • Building the market of high q

WE HAVE WORKED HARD TO MAKE THE LIBERIA PPP STRONGER AND MORE EQUITABLE

Ark’s engagement has focused on ensuring key principles are incorporated:

Multi ti-operato tor: eight operators will run 90 public primary schools. Tra ransp spare rent c commissi ssioning: : operators were selected through a process run in collaboration with the public procurement agency. Pathway t to sustai ainab nabilit ity: y: the funding formula for 7 operators has a clear trajectory to sustainability at government price point. Governm nment nt c capac acit ity: y: there is a plan in place to ensure GoL has the capacity to be commissioner, quality assurer, regulator. Sector-wide t thinking: MoE keen to use PSL to implement key priorities in their upcoming Education Sector Plan.

slide-33
SLIDE 33

#NACSAcon

WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED ABOUT CONTRACT MANAGEMENT PPPS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES?

  • Commissi

ssion c cautiously sly, g grow slo lowly: running schools is hard. Not many operators have the capacity to deliver high quality schooling at scale.

  • Ves

ested i inter erests ma matter: government needs to know what they want, and not be unduly influenced by donors, unions etc.

  • The

he b big q question of p

  • f prof
  • fit: a for-profit PPP may attract a wider range of operators,

but incentives are harder to align.

  • Mi

Mission-al alig ignm nment nt matters m more: effectively commissioning for mission- alignment matters more than whether an operator is for or not-for profit.

  • Think

nk s sus ustaina nably: PPPs – including in UK and US – can leverage money into a system, but a long term plan is needed – government needs to consider long term resources and plan appropriately.

  • Do

Don’t t go i in l lightl tly: PPPs are not an easy way out for government. They’re hard to get right and they are contentious. Government needs to understand their role.

  • Governm

nment nt a agenc ncy: government needs to remain in charge – as commissioner, regulator, quality assurer and terminator. None of this is easy.
