The UK education sector, according to this data, demonstrates significantly better payment practices than the national average. While it's encouraging to see such strong performance, the huge difference between the top and bottom payers highlights a significant inconsistency within the sector. It's also important to note that Wales is represented by only one company, making it hard to draw any conclusions.
The South West scores pretty well with an average of 83.7 across 19 companies, which suggests consistent performance in that region. The North West and Yorkshire and The Humber share an average of 82.4. It's tough to analyse if Wales (88.8) would be better than the South West as it's only a single company.
