Creating a high-functioning education system requires all the strategies involved in building high-functioning organisations anywhere.

It requires building a strong culture at the system and school levels based on high expectations for student achievement.

Yet so powerful is the verbal ambiguity that confuses money with wealth, that even those who at times recognize the confusion will slide back into it in the course of their reasoning.
