Nova Learning's development approach incorporates a strong emphasis on partnering with the public sector. This approach allows each sector to concentrate on its core strengths, ultimately helping to procure new infrastructure in the most economically efficient manner.
Nova Learning's development approach:
- Allows communities to obtain more schools more quickly
- Avoids the need for major capital expenditures by the public sector
- Procures schools faster and at a lower cost (both in affordability and design build time)
- Transfers risk (cost overruns, construction risks, facility operation risks) to the private sector
- Obligates the developer / owner to meet high standards of building and design maintenance
- Provides flexibility for the public sector
- Allows the public sector to concentrate on its core business (delivery of quality education)
- Provides access to private sector expertise, creativity and innovation
- Incorporates full stakeholder consultation (teachers, parents, students, communities)
- Promotes open, transparent, accountable decision-making
- Promotes 'win-win' partnering attitudes versus adversarial relationships
- Identifies value added opportunities (e.g. municipal contributions to expand libraries/recreational facilities)
- Stimulates community / education partnerships
The process leads to a new dynamic in education. Students, teachers and parents gain a stronger sense of ownership of the process and its outcomes. Implemented properly, a partnership approach helps all stakeholders develop a greater sense of pride and involvement in their school.
By working closely with educators, Nova Learning's collaborative approach facilitates the creation of the best learning environment now and for the future.
