The article dwells upon the notions of effectiveness and efficiency in education, discusses the comparative aspect of these notions to each other and in their relation to the notions of quality and validity.
The authors prove that the increase of effectiveness is a new objective for the sphere of education. The achievement of it presupposes the use of innovative modes of management aimed mostly at the 'result management' rather than at the 'process management'. The article dwells upon the necessity of new documented measurable indices for the system of managing effectiveness and efficiency in education. A set of new indices is suggested, as well as some incentives of attainment for the sphere of education.
Key words: effectiveness and efficiency in education, indices, incentives of attainment
