Algeria Use of resources in lower secondary
schools findings from the analysis of the MLA
data set
The graph plots teachers and number of students
in each lower secondary school in the sample (10
schools that were outliers or had missing values
were eliminated). In general, the number of
teachers increases with students but about 25
percent of the variation in number of teachers is
not explained by the number of students.

Algeria Lower Secondary Schools Optimal Size
The unit salary cost declines as school size
increases to 300-400 student, but there are not
many economies of scale when schools are beyond
this size. If it important to make lower
secondary schools more accessible, and the
smaller schools do not have higher capital costs,
it makes sense to build smaller schools.
