You might think so, but it seems (at least in my experience) to turn out that in education and other governmental organizations, funds tend to get routed toward personnel expenses and away from capital expenditures. This is why so many governmental offices are have ugly painted cinderblock walls and uncomfortable chairs, while the workers are accruing big pensions and taking enforced coffee breaks. (Sorry if that seems a little bitter. I'm reporting what I think I'm observing) So I think that the power structure in the system will prevent an improvement in efficiency like what you describe.
