Abstract

A current issue is the evaluation of the efficiency of various types of education service providers. This paper aims to evaluate the efficiency of the services of secondary education provided by a variety of types of providers. The evaluation of secondary education is performed on a sample of 26 grammar schools in the Prešov region of the Slovak Republic. The method of data envelopment analysis (DEA) is used. The results of the efficiency of 26 grammar schools in the period 2012-2013 to 2016-2017 showed that grammar schools from the sample established by all providers (public, private, church entity) reached the full efficiency score. By contrast, six grammar schools were evaluated as the least efficient. The evaluation of the set of grammar schools based on the average efficiency score also showed that, from the viewpoint of the types of providers, public grammar schools reach higher efficiency scores, in comparison with church and private grammar schools. These findings expand on the theory of public goods with respect to their production and render valuable information for not only education providers but also creators of regional strategic plans in education policies.

公立和私立服务提供的效率:以中学教育为例

当前的一个问题是对各类教育服务提供者的效率进行评估。本文旨在评估由各种类型的提供者提供的中等教育服务的效率。中等教育的评价是在斯洛伐克共和国Prešov地区的26所文法学校样本中进行的。采用数据包络分析(DEA)方法。对2012-2013年至2016-2017年期间26所文法学校的效率结果显示，所有提供者(公立、私立、教会实体)建立的样本文法学校达到了效率满分。相比之下，6所文法学校被评为效率最低。根据平均效率分数对这组文法学校的评估也表明，从提供者类型的角度来看，与教会和私立文法学校相比，公立文法学校的效率得分更高。这些发现扩展了公共产品生产的理论，不仅为教育提供者提供了有价值的信息，也为教育政策区域战略计划的创造者提供了有价值的信息。
