Decentralization and School Improvement Can We Fulfill the Promise?

Drawing on theoretical models, case studies, and comparative analyses of other sectors and countries, the authors argue that governance reforms are likely to have little impact on what actually happens in schools. They explain the cyclical and reactionary nature of decentralization debates and show how they are Andemic to modern society. And they tell why decentralized structural arrangements alone are unlikely to establish conditions necessary for general improvement in educational practice.Hannaway, Jane is the author of 'Decentralization and School Improvement Can We Fulfill the Promise?', published 1993 under ISBN 9781555425050 and ISBN 1555425054.
