Abstract

Through this paper performance of the basic education system of Myanmar is assessed, laying emphasis on secondary education concerning science and mathematics. The assessment tool used is Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), a linear programming-based method, a useful tool for evaluating the relative efficiency of decision-making units (DMUs) through different input and output parameters.
