Efficiency in Education

Academics at Lancaster University have had a global reputation in the evaluation of performance indicators and efficiency for more than 25 years.

To celebrate this area of expertise in the University’s 50th year, academics, researchers, practitioners and policy-makers interested in analysing performance in education are invited to attend this two-day academic workshop.

Theoretical and empirical papers on efficiency and productivity are invited. Any level of education is of interest, and the coverage can be national or international.

This workshop builds on the success of the Workshop on Efficiency in Higher Education held at the University of Macedonia, Thessaloniki in June 2013. There will be opportunities for participants to present new research and exchange ideas on current issues in measuring and analysing efficiency in education.
