Efficiency of educational institutions is a significant issue worldwide. However, there is no commonly accepted way to measure the quality of management of education services. Mainly because it too much depends on the national factors: political, economic or legal. Moreover, it has been proved that the efficiency of the school's teaching is affected directly by the environmental factor represented by selected characteristics of students. Therefore, taking into account value-added students' knowledge rather than absolute exam results changes evaluation of the schools' efficiency. The article contribute in international discussions about future of evaluation the quality of management in educational sector. In the article the model of evaluation Polish lower secondary schools' management taking into account local and environmental context is proposed. On the basis of Bialystok's schools, author shows that the implementation of DEA could be useful and provides additional knowledge about the efficiency of management in educational institutions.

The article presents the concept of environmental efficiency analysis based on the method of Data Envelopment Analysis in the case of the existence of desirable and undesirable results. Theoretical considerations are illustrated by a case study of European countries and evaluation of productivity taking into account not only economic growth but also effects which are undesirable and impossible to eliminate entirely, such as the impact on the environment. The differences in the results are explained by the relationship between policies aiming at supporting research and development with the use of the Tobit regression model. The added value of this work is to propose anintegration of environmental DEA method with the concept of technological competitors. The possibility of applying the concept of DEA to technological competition was presented in the form of classification and benchmarking of the European countries. It is concluded that European countries are highly diversified in regard to the efficiency of environmental performance.
