Efficiency appears be achieved when results, such Programme International Student Assessment scores, attainment or other value-added outcomes, are reached rather low financial resources. performance in lacks sustainability many mostly belonging Mediterranean south-eastern groups, old member recording scores closer 1 compared new ones. Inefficiency derived causes interactions between these (the mixture public private resources, population composition, gross domestic product per capita attainment) most often imply solutions country country.
