Evidence-based policy in education and in other fields of the public sector implies the use of sophisticated techniques to assess the performance and efficiency of organizations. The evaluation of national-level reforms and the assessment of specific interventions in education and other public services require accurate approaches and advanced methods. The purpose of the Workshop was to focus on specific challenges around measuring performance in education and other public services sectors. The Workshop grouped together scholars from various disciplines and fields to debate the present and future challenges in education and public sector efficiency, performance measurement, and policy and managerial implications of the on-going research. The Workshop provided an ideal platform for presenting new methods, applications of existing techniques and advances in theoretical and empirical research.
