Abstract

The efficiency of three provincial public colleges in Guangdong Province (Case A, Case B, and Case C) is assessed using the BCC model of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Despite their similar institutional status, the colleges differ in location, history, disciplinary focus, and resource availability, which influence their operational efficiency. Case A demonstrates both pure technical efficiency (PTE = 1.00) and scale efficiency (SE = 1.00), indicating optimal resource use and scale management. Case B shows full technical efficiency (PTE = 1.00) but inefficiencies in scale (SE = 0.90), suggesting room for improvement in scale adjustments. Case C operates near the efficient frontier with a BCC efficiency score of 0.97, indicating a 3% potential for improvement. These findings offer valuable insights for policymakers to enhance efficiency in Guangdong’s higher education system. Future research could broaden the scope by including more institutions and exploring dynamic efficiency changes over time.
