Abstract

ABSTRACTThis article aims to analyze the efficiency of primary education schools in Morocco using the database ‘Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study’ (TIMSS) in the fourth year of primary education compiled 2011 by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA). The methodology of Data Envelopment Analysis ‘DEA’ is used to define the efficiency scores for each school. To participate in the debate on the inclusion or exclusion of non-discretionary inputs in the DEA, efficiency scores were also determined taking into account the socio-economic environment of the school. Also, the analysis of external factors that impact the efficiency scores is carried out using the ordered probit econometric model. Particular attention is paid to the characteristics of the student and parents. The results confirm the hypothesis that the socio-economic environment of the student has a significant impact on the efficiency of primary schools in Morocco.
