THE COMPETITIVE POSITION OF THE SECTOR. ‌ A recent report on UK productivity (HM Treasury and DTI, 2006) stressed the government’s commitment to improving the productivity and efficiency of both the public and private sectors. The report suggests that (p.3): “Private and public sector productivity growth is interdependent, the public sector has a critical role to play in supporting productivity growth through the provision of key public services such as education, infrastructure and the public science base. If these public services do not receive adequate investment, or are delivered ineffectively, then they will have direct impact on the growth potential of the whole economy. More widely, increasing productivity across the public sector plays a key role in ensuring that the economy’s resources and capacity are efficiently utilised and also deliver high quality public services.” The lifelong learning sector is largely (but not exclusively) a public sector, where services are perceived to be for the public good and require government intervention and expenditure to support universally accessible provision. As such, the lifelong learning sector competes with other public sectors (such as health and defence) in attracting public investment. It also competes internally between and within its constituent parts as different constituencies and individual providers attract varying levels of investment and deploy different strategies to engage service users. Although many decisions within this ‘public good’ market are policy driven, section

THE COMPETITIVE POSITION OF THE SECTOR. A report by the Scottish Executive emphasises the commitment to improving the productivity and efficiency of both the public and private sectors. The report suggests that (Scottish Executive, 2004c, p5): “Increasing our economic growth rate will be secured through sustained increases in our competitiveness in international and domestic markets. This competitive edge will itself fundamentally depend on raising the underlying productivity of both our enterprises and of our public sector. The principal focus of the Framework is therefore upon securing a more dynamic economy in which enterprises and individuals are able to respond rapidly and effectively to the continuous change and intense pressures of the global economy. It must be a long-term strategy that secures fundamental change and sustainability, and one that is a partnership between the private and public sectors.” The lifelong learning sector is largely (but not exclusively) a public sector, where services are perceived to be for the public good and require government intervention and expenditure to support universally accessible provision. As such, the lifelong learning sector competes with other public sectors (such as health and defence) in attracting public investment. It also competes internally between and within its constituent parts as different constituencies and individual providers attract varying levels of investment and deploy different strategies to engage service users.
