| Sumario: | This study evaluates the technical efficiency of students from 8 Latin American countries that participated in the PISA 2015 tests. The study was developed under a non-parametric methodology. For this, a product-oriented FDH model was used with a robust estimations approach and a Meta-frontier decomposition. The latter allows decomposing the total efficiency of the students, between that attributable to the student and that attributable to the country. The data used in the study comes from the PISA 2015 tests. The data used correspond to 35,880 observations from the same number of students who presented the aforementioned test. The results reveal that most of the inefficiency is due to the students themselves. Identifying Uruguay and Brazil as the countries with the lowest inefficiency score. And to Mexico and the Dominican Republic as those with the highest inefficiency score.
