Decentralized Boards of Education (Regional, District and Educational Centers)
The Decentralized Boards of Education were provided for by the General Education Law No. 66-97 and Ordinance No. 02-2008 for the regional, district and educational center levels; they were conceived as spaces for effective participation and debate with the educational community, the family and civil society. In this way, the participation of these sectors, as well as the unions and the churches envisaged to discuss and implement specific programs within the general guidelines of the educational policy as determined by the Ministry of Education. They are in charge of the reporting and periodic evaluations of their own operation; can directly transfer specific resources and in some cases can decide on the implementation of works and programs. These Education Boards have been extensively implemented, with over 2000 operating throughout the country as of 2016.
