Selection of Schools in Districts Using a Bi-Objective MILP Model: a Case Study from Paraguay

EasyChair Preprint 8816

Abstract

The district of Abaí in the department of Caazapá, Paraguay, has building infrastructure conditions that can be improved in order to improve the quality of education. The reduction of schools could contribute to better management. Unfortunately, any change in the operation of the system generates strong resistance to change when it comes to closing schools. We present a bi-objective model that simultaneously seeks to reduce the total cost of the education system and minimize the number of students displaced from schools that must be closed.

Keyphrases: Bi-objective programming, Facility opening and closing, Infrastructure resizing, Schools, mixed linear programming
