Abstract: One of the main concerns in the European Union (EU) is to improving educational achievements and the efficiency of the educational systems. In this work we analyse the educational efficiency in 18 European countries through a methodology that employs the pupil as decision making unit using PISA database. We calculate a whole frontier using data envelopment analysis (DEA) for the analysed pupils faced up to their own education. Efficiency scores are explained taking into account pupil, school, and country factors affecting the productive process. Results show that simply belonging to a country, repeating grade or even to be educated in a good managed school explains a high proportion of European pupils’ efficiency.
