Abstract
This note claims that contracting in
education can be employed for initiatives of varying sizes
and across a range of services. For policy-makers,
contracting represents an effective means of introducing
accountability in the education system. Contracting can also
insulate governments from some of the criticism leveled at
privatization. Moreover, it can bring in skills and capital
to the education sector.
