Improving the Efficiency of Educational Systems. Indicators of Educational Effectiveness and Efficiency

摘要

The purpose of the monograph is to identify appropriate quantitative indicators of educational effectiveness and efficiency and to discuss how such indicators should be used in assessing education at multiple levels of the educational system. The statistical indicators of educational effectiveness and efficiency are required to document the present status of educational activities, to establish alternative goals for the education and human resources (EHR) system in terms of how it should appear at some future time, and to operate as benchmarks to define systemic progress toward better utilization of existing resources by the educational system or by individual educational organizations.
