Abstract: This study evaluates the effectiveness of the educational supply chain in 27 EU states using the relational network DEA. The education system consists of three interconnected stages: primary, secondary, and tertiary education. The overall system efficiency reflects the combined efficiencies of each stage, demonstrating the interconnection between these stages. This allows for a comprehensive evaluation of the entire education system while also assessing each stage individually. This approach is important because it helps identify specific subsystems responsible for any inefficiencies within the entire educational system, highlighting areas that need improvement. By addressing these inefficiencies at their source, targeted strategies can be implemented to improve the overall effectiveness of the education system. The results indicate that the inefficiency of primary education explains a significant part of the inefficiency of the entire education system.
