Measurement of Education Effectiveness in the BRICS countries and Turkey
Keywords:
Abstract
The high literacy rate in a country shows that educational attainment is progressing well and efficiently. In this study, we aim to compare the effectiveness of education in the BRICS countries - Brazil, India, Russia, China, South Africa - and Turkey. We use the Stochastic Frontier Analysis method to measure the technical efficiency of education. The study utilizes 2017 and 2018 data, and linear functions to examine technical efficiency. The dataset comprises cross-sectional data. As a result, South Africa and India show the lowest technical efficiency scores, followed by China. Russia, Brazil, and Turkey scored high on technical efficiency for 2017 and 2018. This means that education levels in South Africa and India are unequal and shared among all residents. The 2017 and 2018 productivity scores are the same at 0.99% in Turkey, Russia, and Brazil. India's productivity score increased by 0.10% to 0.55% in 2018. Likewise, the productivity score calculated for China decreased by an average of 0.07 percent to 0.70 percent. However, South Africa's productivity score fell by 0.08 percent to 0.01 percent in 2018.
