Educational Autonomy

Educational autonomy refers to the degree of independence that schools, teachers, and students have in making decisions about how education is delivered, what is taught, and how learning is assessed. It allows educational institutions to tailor their approaches to meet local needs and priorities without excessive external control. This autonomy fosters innovation, responsiveness, and diversity within education systems, empowering educators and communities to shape learning environments that best serve their students. Overall, political and administrative bodies provide a supportive framework while trusting educational entities to operate effectively and creatively.
