Value for Money as a School Improvement Strategy: Evidence from the New Inspection System in England.

Levacic, Rosalind; Glover, Derek

School Effectiveness and School Improvement, v8 n2 p231-53 Jun 1997

Britain's new inspection system requires that schools be assessed for efficiency and value for money. Drawing on a content analysis of 66 secondary school inspection reports, this paper considers implementation problems and whether schools have adopted the rational approach to resource management. Few schools had successfully adopted all elements of the rational model. (24 references) (MLH)
