Maybe the school should focus on improving Efficiency while maintaining its effectiveness.

Haha, this school is really playing the 'value for money' game, aren't they? Cutting teacher salaries to save a few bucks, but still getting the results. Classic 'efficiency' move right there.

I'm not sure about this one. Smaller class sizes usually mean better quality, but the low teacher pay is a big problem. I'd go with C, economy, since that seems to be the main trade-off they're making.

I agree with Freida, paying less to teachers is affecting their motivation.

Efficiency is the aspect they're underperforming on. If they can maintain those high pass rates with smaller class sizes and lower teacher pay, they're getting a lot done with fewer resources.

This school seems to be doing a great job with effectiveness, given the high exam pass rates. But the low pay for teachers is definitely an economy issue.
