Abstract

To determine the contributions of different types of resources to the variability of performance in the elementary school system at the national level, initially the performance variable was defined. Then, utilizing the available figures on resources allocated to elementary schools in different provinces, a multiple correlation function was defined in which the correlation between performance and human resources was negative and that of performance and physical resources was positive. Together these two factors explain 65% of the variance in performance among provinces.
