| Title | Decentralizing Education: Managing the Change. The Case of Moldova |
| Summary | Education decentralization policies are considered and implemented by many countries around the world as a solution to inefficient management and use of financial sources, unequal access to education services and to stimulate local participation. The recent public administration decentralization reform initiated by the Moldovan Government announces important structural changes including in the compulsory education field. Hence, this thesis set off to analyze the main issues that the administrative decentralization reform will deal with once applied in the public compulsory education field in Moldova. To do so, it analyzed the distribution of administrative and financial competences, ownership matters, administrative and institutional capacity and democratic participation in terms of efficiency, equity and accountability. It concluded that the main challenges the policy makers will face are related to the confusing distribution of competences between different government tiers, weak administrative and financial capacity, while strengthening participation and accountability leverages at local level. Building a case for delegated educational competences to regional governments, various policy implications are analyzed in the last section. |
