Education Decentralization

Education decentralization refers to the process of transferring authority and decision-making power from central government bodies to local or regional entities. This means that schools, districts, or communities gain more control over their educational resources, policies, and curriculum. The goal is to tailor education to better meet local needs, improve efficiency, and increase accountability. By involving local stakeholders—such as parents, teachers, and community members—in decision-making, decentralization aims to enhance the quality of education and ensure that it aligns with the specific preferences and contexts of the communities served.
