screenshot of a block of text from an OECD report; the block of text reads: Increasing expenditure per student typically correlates with improved outcomes, but only up to a point after which additional investment shows little impact on performance. For instance, Japanese 15-year-olds’ mathematics scores are higher than those of their US peers, even though Japan spends about 30% less per student aged 6 to 15 than the United States.

The text is: "The way we work with institutions adapts to their specific needs. Our two most common models are fee-for-persistence and fee-for-service.
