This book assesses how efficient primary and upper primary
education is across different states of India considering both
output oriented and input oriented measures of technical
efficiency. It identifies the most important factors that could
produce differential efficiency among the states, including the
effects of central grants, school-specific infrastructures, social
indicators and policy variables, as well as state-specific factors
like per-capita net-state-domestic-product from the service sector,
inequality in distribution of income (Gini coefficient), the
percentage of people living below the poverty line and the density
of population. The study covers the period 2005-06 to 2010-11 and
all the states and union territories of India, which are
categorized into two separate groups, namely: (i) General Category
States (GCS); and (ii) Special Category States (SCS) and Union
Territories (UT). It uses non-parametric Data Envelopment Analysis
(DEA) and obtains the Technology Closeness Ratio (TCR), measuring
whether the maximum output producible from an input bundle by a
school within a given group is as high as what could be produced if
the school could choose to join the other group. The major
departure of this book is its approach to estimating technical
efficiency (TE), which does not use a single frontier encompassing
all the states and UT, as is done in the available literature.
Rather, this method assumes that GCS, SCS and UT are not
homogeneous and operate under different fiscal and economic
conditions.
