The education sector's average payment score of 80.9/100 is significantly higher than the UK average of 50.0, indicating that these organisations generally pay suppliers promptly. However, the wide range between the top and bottom performers suggests a lack of consistency within the sector; there is a 73.45-point difference between the best and worst payers.
Wales boasts the highest regional average at 91.4, but this is based on a single company, making it statistically unreliable. The South West and Yorkshire and The Humber both demonstrate solid payment performance, with averages of 84.4 and 83.0 respectively, based on a larger sample size.

One-line takeaway: While the education sector averages a strong 80.9/100, suppliers should be aware of the significant variation in payment practices between individual organisations, with some, like DRUCK LIMITED, scoring as low as 25.93/100.
