Decentralized Decision-making in Schools
An increasing number of developing countries are introducing School-Based Management (SBM) reforms aimed at empowering principals and teachers or at strengthening their professional motivation, thereby enhancing their sense of ownership of the school. Many of these reforms have also strengthened parental involvement in the schools, sometimes by means of school councils. SBM programs take many different forms in terms of who has the power to make decisions as well as the degree of ecision-making devolved to the school level. While some programs transfer authority only to school principals or te.
Corrupt Schools, Corrupt Universities

Lessons are drawn from strategies used worldwide to improve transparency and accountability in educational management.
Innovación social en educación
El libro que el lector tiene en sus manos es una contribución para el conocimiento de la educación básica de México. La motivación fundamental del trabajo proviene de la necesidad de identificar algunas características esenciales del cambio educativo promovido por la acción social en México en determinado contexto político y administrativo, local o omunitario, por una parte, y por los actores de la educación en sus ámbitos escolares particulares, por la otra. Lo anterior con el fin de destacar las contribuciones que la práctica educativa hace a los procesos de elaboración de políticas públicas o a su renovación.
Achieving Transparency in Pro-poor Education Incentives
What are the ways to ensure that scholarships, conditional cash transfers and free school meals actually reach their intended beneficiaries? This book assumes that different models of design, targeting, and management of pro-poor incentives can prove more or less successful in maximizing efficiency, transparency, and accountability, and in minimizing the likelihood of errors, fraud and corrupt practices. The authors argue that deliberate actions taken to confront related corruption risks, such as simplified targeting, legal definition of responsibilities, local transparency committees, school display boards, appeals mechanisms, informal whistle-blowing and social audits, among others, are of greater importance than the adopted incentive model. They conclude by highlighting the value of 'mutual accountability systems', where all actors are mutually accountable and subject to checks and balances.
