| description |
The sweeping decentralization reform of
the education system introduced by the Government in 2007 to
promote greater school autonomy and more efficient spending
produced impressive efficiency gains and set the foundation
for better adjustment to local needs. Despite initial
successes, lingering concerns remain about the
accountability of schools to the local community. Thus, as a
part of a continued engagement with the Government of
Bulgaria, this study records the achievements of the reforms
and highlights outstanding challenges. Its aim is to assess
progress in the functioning of the model of delegated
financing and governance in the education sector. The study
aims to identify where the model could be strengthened to
further improve the achievement of the objectives of the
reform. The study focuses on four questions: (1) To what
extent are the reforms leading to a more efficient system?
(2) Is there any evidence that the quality of education had
been impacted by these reforms? (3) What is the equity
impact of the school closures? (4) How are accountability
mechanisms affecting the role of the major stakeholders? |
