A key challenge for governments is to meet the changing needs of education within the constraints of tighter budgets. As governments seek to find ways of improving value for money from PPP agreements that can last over 25 years, this conference will explore the key issues behind successful PPPs in educational infrastructure, drawing on the expertise from different countries, the European Investment Bank and other institutions. For more information, see the web site (www.bettervalue4schools.gr) or contact Hannah von Ahlefeld (Hannah.vonAhlefeld@oecd.org).
