AB  - Addresses the question of how TECs′ outputs can be accurately estimated
and analysed so that a balanced evaluation of the effectiveness and
cost‐efficiency of their programmes can be made. Proposes an approach
involving comparisons between “model TECs”, “unreformed TECs” and
private‐sector providers of similar programmes and services, which
overcomes the dearth of official data on TEC management costs. Contends
that TECs at their best are in need of further reform in the direction
of private‐sector disciplines, and that the majority of TECs are
under‐performing, overstaffed and overpriced compared with other
providers of training, enterprise and consultancy services. Concludes
by explaining how a potential annual saving of £255 million could be made
by reforming the TEC system nationally.
