| description |
Education in the Thailand is highly
decentralized. While education policy is the sole
responsibility of the Ministry of education, school boards
are responsible for delivery. The entire organization of the
school system is based on checks and balances to ensure
accountability. Budgetary autonomy is established. The
school board controls the school budget, with input from
parents. Personnel management is established. Salaries are
relatively fixed by civil service rules at the primary
school level, but completely negotiable at the secondary
school level. The school board controls the hiring and
firing of teachers and principals. Participation of parents
in school governance is established. There is an
accountability system comprised of different supervisory
institutions where parents are formally represented. School
autonomy and accountability are key components to ensure
education quality. The transfer of core managerial
responsibilities to schools promotes local accountability,
helps reflect local priorities, values, and needs, and gives
teachers the opportunity to establish a personal commitment
to students and their parents. There are five indicators of
school autonomy and accountability that can help benchmark
an education system's policies that enable school
autonomy and accountability: school autonomy in budget
planning and approval; school autonomy in personnel
management; the participation of the school council in
school finance; the assessment of school and student
performance; and school accountability to stakeholders. This
report focuses specifically on policies in the area of
school autonomy and accountability. |
