Multi-criteria Analysis of Optimal Educational Teacher Allocation System - Journal Article Abstract

Oct 15, 2026

Uploaded by dawugda

This paper develops a model to automatically select and allocate secondary education teachers to schools while accounting for section and lesson diversity, school distances, teacher specializations, teaching workloads, and additional constraints. The approach is inherently multi-objective, balancing financial and pedagogical goals and enabling decision-makers to evaluate competing objectives and required trade-offs to improve performance in targeted areas. A case study in the Prefecture of Ilia in Western Greece demonstrates practical applicability of the model.

[https://doi.org/10.14507/epaa.33.8584](https://doi.org/10.14507/epaa.33.8584) Abstract: This paper presents a model for automatically selecting and allocating secondary education teachers to schools while considering various factors such as the diversity of sections and lessons, school distances, teacher specializations, teaching workloads, and other constraints. This poses a complex challenge that educational authorities in prefectures must address. Our proposed model is inherently multi-objective, as it encompasses a range of financial and pedagogical objectives. By employing this model, decision-makers can explore the competition between these objectives and the necessary trade-offs required to enhance performance in specific areas. To illustrate the model's practical applicability, we conducted a case study focusing on the Prefecture of Ilia in Western Greece.
