Abstract : This paper aims to evaluate the total productivity growth of (18) Private Universities in Republic of Yemen. The performance of the Private Universities is specified on the Total Factor Productivity Change (TFPCh) and Technical Efficiency Change (EffCh). Output orientated DEA-Malmquist index was used to assess the productivity growth of (18) Private Universities in two academic years (2012/2013) and (2013/2014) and was used two input variables (number of enrolled students in Bachelor and number of Teaching Staff) and one output variable (number of graduated of students). The results showed that (10) private universities achieved remarkable positively growth in Malmquist Index for Total Factor Productivity and (12) Private Universities or (66.67%) attained positively growth in Technical Efficiency Change (EffCh). The Technological Change Index showed that (4) Private Universities only showed a technological progress.
