<br/><br/> The study examines an interstate analysis of the efficiency of secondary education in India during the year 2014-15 using stochastic production frontier approach. Mean achievement score (MAS) is treated as output and the number of institutions (NI) and pupil-teacher ratio (PTR) are treated as two primary inputs. As per availability of data four explanatory variables: Gender Parity Index (GPI), percentage expenditure in Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), percentage of schools with Drinking Water Facility (DWF) and percentage of schools with Girl's Toilet (GT) are chosen which are assumed to affect the efficiency of secondary education. The results show that primary input- pupil-teacher ratio (PTR) and inefficiency effects variablespercentage expenditure in SSA and percentage of schools with GT have significant contributions in the MAS of secondary education in India. – Reproduced
