Abstract
This study proposes the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) technique to measure public upper secondary school performance in Northern Thailand. DEA uses benchmarking to measure efficiency of each school relative to others in its group. The results reveal that the schools operate inefficiently. To ascertain the performance-based efficiency measures, sensitivity analysis reveals the robustness of the resulting efficiency measures on efficiency. Policy to improve school efficiency may thus consider using performance-based analysis to identify which institution will yield higher marginal returns to prioritise inefficient institutions for treatment, in addition to allocating budget based on block grants or enrolment.
