Education "Decentralization" Processes in Mexico and Nicaragua: Legislative versus Ministry-Led Reform Strategies.
Gershberg, Alec Ian
Comparative Education, v35 n1 p63-80 Mar 1999
Like most countries that have implemented some form of decentralization policy, Mexico followed a strategy of legislation first and actual reform second. Nicaragua, on the other hand, moved toward school-based management and significant changes in governance and finance with little legal framework. Benefits and pitfalls of the two national experiences are compared. Contains 23 references. (Author/SV)
