Data envelopment analysis (DEA) representative a non parametric tool can be used as a fair technique to support the decision making process .Considering the fact that competition and dependency always exist between two real DMUs, a DMU must only be compared with real DMUs lying at different efficiency levels. This paper applied a context-dependent DEA to determine the best candidate relative to the others, evaluate the degree of excellence of best candidates' performance and then clusters them.}, keywords = {Data Envelopment Analysis,Context dependent DEA,Educational Department}, url = {https://www.journal-aprie.com/article_43015.html}, eprint = {https://www.journal-aprie.com/article_43015_aba7212b3ff916d903f78e2507f56254.pdf} }
