Efficiency of secondary education of a selected OIC countries

The purpose of this study is to investigate the level of technical efficiency of secondary education in 16 selected OIC countries (including West Bank and Gaza). Education efficiency has become an important issue given the pressing levels of public deficit and debt of many countries. Since the educa...
