政府购买教育服务合同管理的理论逻辑与策略选择

Logic and strategic choices in the management of the government purchase of the education service contract

教育服务合同是在政府购买教育服务日益盛行的背景下出现的一种合同现象,是政府购买教育服务的重要内容和有效凭证。而对教育服务合同的有效管理则是政府购买教育服务得以实现的基础和保障,也直接关乎到公众的公共利益和政府的合法性。教育服务合同管理有其内在的逻辑,它的兴起和发展意味着政府权威管理模式日渐式微,政府合同管理模式正得到越来越多的肯定和深入实践。委托代理理论为教育服务合同的管理提供了新的解释路径。政府购买教育服务合同的有效管理需要培育和坚守契约伦理,重塑公共教育管理者的公共行政精神;健全和完善教育服务合同管理过程,规避合同管理过程中的风险问题;发展和提升政府的教育服务合同文本管理和关系管理的能力,使政府成为一个"精明的买主",进而更好地实现为公众做一个好交易的目标。
