Abstract:The importance of education to national competitiveness and future development is self-evident. Resource input secures educational development. However, the efficiency of educational resources, their input-output ratio, and their effects on national competitiveness are matters of concern. This study aims to measure the efficiency of educational resources of a country within the scope of financial capacity. This study further evaluates the effects of educational efficiency on national competitiveness. Data envelopment analysis was applied to measure the efficiency of educational resources, and two-way fixed-effect panel data were used to evaluate the effects on national competitiveness. This study corroborated that among 53 countries, those with high educational efficiency and stable development are mainly concentrated in East and Southeast Asia. According to different levels of development and/or regional location, the driver of education is only significant in the most competitive economies. In addition, given the development stage, governments should depend on their own level of competitiveness in determining priority areas of development.

“…Si bien a nivel internacional existen varios estudios (Grosskopf et al 2001;Banker et al 2004;Blackburn et al 2013;Casalprim et al 2013 señalarían que el centro es ineficiente y por tanto la cuantía de la ineficiencia indica la cantidad de output que podría ser aumentado si se eliminara la ineficiencia.…”

The aim of this research is to identify the main drivers of Spanish primary school efficiency. We are particularly interested in identifying which variables could be influenced by the design of public policies in order to improve academic outcomes with the current resource allocation. To do this, we perform a two-stage semiparametric model using the "Evaluación General de Diagnóstico 2009" database from the Spanish Ministry of Education. In the first stage, we use Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to estimate efficiency scores, which are then regressed on school and student contextual variables. The results show that, on average, Spanish schools can improve their academic outcomes in 12%. Regarding the drivers of this inefficiency, our findings suggest that education policy should focus on supporting students with high risk of repetition at an early age, encouraging daily extracurricular reading, promoting classroom teaching techniques involving more individual work by students and less exposure time by teachers and seeking a greater involvement of parents in their children's education. Finally, the results evidence that when two groups within the same primary school are compared, in 35.5% (13.5%) of them the teacher and teaching methods explain five to ten efficiency points (more than ten efficiency points).Therefore, in addition to measuring the schools efficiency level it would be necessary to perform schools' systematic evaluations at the classroom level in order to control the efficiency and equity of the system. Key Words: Primary education, technical efficiency, DEA, bootstrap. ResumenEste trabajo tiene como objeto identificar los principales factores determinantes de la eficiencia de la Educación Primaria en España. En particular, interesa identificar aquellas variables sobre las cuales se podría influir a través del diseño de políticas públicas, con el fin de mejorar los resultados alcanzados sin necesidad de incrementar los recursos disponibles. Para ello, se estima un modelo semi-paramétrico en dos etapas, a partir de la información de la Evaluación General de Diagnóstico 2009 del Ministerio de Educación, Cultura y Deporte. En una primera etapa, se estima el nivel de eficiencia de cada uno de los grupos de alumnos de los centros educativos evaluados a través de un modelo DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis), y posteriormente se regresan los índices estimados sobre diversas variables educativas asociadas a los colegios y a los '¡Quiero cambiar a mi hijo de grupo!'.

Los resultados del estudio evidencian que, en media, los colegios tendrían un margen potencial para mejorar un 12% sus resultados. En cuanto a las causas que explican esta ineficiencia los resultados muestran que la política educativa debería centrar sus esfuerzos en brindar apoyo a los alumnos con mayor riesgo de repetición a edades tempranas, fomentar la lectura diaria extracu...

The aim of this paper is to analyse efficiency of primary schools in Canton Sarajevo in Bosnia and Herzegovina, to identify efficient and inefficient schools, to indicate how much efficiency of inefficient schools can be improved and to rank the schools according to their efficiency. The data were obtained from the Ministry of Education, Science and Youth of Canton Sarajevo for the period from 2016 to 2017. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) method was used to evaluate the efficiency of primary schools. A comparison of the efficiency of primary schools and a ranking according to the efficiency of work in 2016 and 2017 was made as well as for the two-year period (2016)(2017). Projections of the increase in the number of pupils who successfully completed the school year, as well as the increase in the average score in the native language, the first foreign language and mathematics are made, given that all schools work efficiently.
