The document discusses the challenges of implementing decentralization in education. It notes that while decentralization aims to increase efficiency, relevance, participation, and accountability, the reality is that decentralization faces problems like a lack of support systems, difficulties managing financial resources, and weaknesses in the functioning of local offices. To address these issues, the document argues that policies are needed to develop capacities, strengthen monitoring and evaluation, and better link mandates with resources when decentralizing education systems.

This document discusses problems with low achievement rates and high school drop rates in education and proposes solutions. It identifies strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. To address low achievement, the document recommends enhancing assessment programs, providing updated materials, and creating private sector partnerships. For high drop rates, it suggests investing in early childhood education, strengthening guidance counseling, offering teacher scholarships for counseling degrees, reducing class sizes, hiring more teachers, and again creating private partnerships. It notes both opportunities and challenges in implementing the recommendations.
2008 cecr annual meeting linking data systems to local reforms
The document discusses several gaps and issues with current education data systems. It notes that HR, student information, and finance systems are often disconnected and do not adequately support evaluation, research, or decision making. Data quality is also an issue, with poor links between student and teacher data. There are also analytical gaps in accountability systems, including challenges connecting test results to productivity measures and teacher characteristics over time due to a lack of vertical scales and links to licensure data. The document concludes by surprising that districts are focusing more on evaluation, unions want results for equity issues, and there is demand for better diagnostic assessment and professional development.

This document discusses several stress points and structural challenges facing the continued viability of the University Faculty Senate. It identifies issues such as poor communication, an administrative structure that shifts power to long-serving bureaucracy, a focus on monitoring rather than policy development, misaligned committee structures, failure to address contract faculty issues, cronyism, lack of transparency and protection from retaliation, finance overriding educational decisions, and structural impediments to engagement in shared governance. The document argues that these issues present challenges to the Senate's institutional viability going forward if not addressed.

Rethinking Decentralization & Deconcentration
The document discusses decentralization and deconcentration in unitary states. It explores definitions of the terms and debates around centralization versus decentralization. Some key points discussed include:
- Decentralization can refer to political, administrative, and fiscal transfers of power from central to local governments.
- Deconcentration is considered the weakest form of decentralization, involving an intra-organizational redistribution of authority within a national government.
- There are disagreements around whether deconcentration is a form of decentralization or separate concept. Some argue they exist on a continuum rather than as dichotomous concepts.
MAKING GOVERNMENT WORK: DECENTRALIZATION AND REGIONAL AUTONOMY
This document discusses decentralization in Indonesia. It begins by outlining the historical arguments for a centralized government in Indonesia due to its diversity. However, decentralization was introduced in 1999 to address regional inequalities and grievances that had fueled separatist movements. The document defines decentralization as the transfer of authority and responsibilities from the central government to local governments. It explores how decentralization aims to give more autonomy to local areas and enhance democracy, legitimacy, and stability.
Weber's
Alfred Weber developed the theory of location which assumed fixed centers of consumption and labor supply. The theory states that transportation costs and labor costs are the primary factors influencing the location of industries. According to Weber, industries will locate near raw material sources if the material index is greater than 1, and near markets if the material index is less than 1. The optimal location is the point where transportation costs and labor costs are minimized.

The role of local government in development involves administering basic services at the local level as delegated by national government. These include health, agriculture, infrastructure, and regulatory functions. Local governments generate revenue through taxes and shares of national taxes to fund their operations. While the Local Government Code of 1991 devolved many responsibilities and increased autonomy of local governments, issues remain such as inadequate funding, interference in personnel matters, and the need to further broaden tax bases and devolve additional powers and functions.
Organization theories
There are several theories which explain the organization and its structure .Classical organization theory includes the scientific management approach, Weber's bureaucratic approach, and administrative theory.
Organizational readinesss
The document summarizes findings from a study that examined indicators of institutional readiness for online and technology-enhanced teaching and learning. A questionnaire was developed based on a literature review and interviews, and was piloted at 24 institutions. Key findings showed strong support for administrative applications but more moderate support for strategic planning, teaching and learning with technology, and pedagogical practices incorporating technology. Barriers identified included issues around definitions, legal concerns, governance, compensation and tenure. Next steps proposed expanding the study and providing comparative reports to help institutions assess their progress over time.

GRI Conference - 27 May - Agyemang - NGO Accountability
The document discusses NGO accountability and knowledge sharing for sustainability in less developed economies. It focuses on research conducted on the effectiveness of NGO accountability mechanisms in Ghana. Upward accountability reports to donors contain project objectives, funds, and activities, but may not fully capture contextual knowledge and tacit knowledge important for understanding. Standard templates and formality of reports can facilitate sharing of explicit operational knowledge but may hinder sharing of situational knowledge on factors like appropriate project locations and timing. To better enable knowledge sharing for sustainable development, accountability mechanisms need to reconsider how information is gathered, used, and feedback is provided to fieldworkers.

Dev system and structure.pptx
The document discusses issues with the secondary education system in India. It notes that the current examination system is defective and overly focused on rote learning and memory. Guidance and counseling services are also lacking. The examination system needs reforms to assess understanding rather than just memory. It should also evaluate students in all domains, not just knowledge. Guidance and counseling are important to help students with career selection, problem-solving, and development, but they suffer from issues like lack of funding and qualified professionals. Overall improvements are needed to make secondary education more student-centered, practical, and focused on development.
