This article first shows the estimated change in productivity in public expenditure on Education from 1995 to 2004, consistent with the figures in the current National Accounts. Recognising that further progress in improving the measurement of output is needed, the article goes on to look at the productivity estimates implied by the new methodologies for measuring output published by DfES on 14 October 2005.
The article also presents a wider set of evidence that helps build up an overall picture of Education performance. The article is based on the latest information available to ONS; as more data become available estimates of output and productivity will be updated.
This is the second article in the Public Service Productivity Series following the Health Productivity article published in October 2004.
