    UNESCO, November 2007.

    How can educational governance at local levels enable the empowerment of excluded groups? Two new publications from UNESCO address this and other related questions.

    “Educational governance at local levels: policy paper and evaluation guidelines” includes a policy paper on implementing educational decentralization as well as evaluation guidelines.

    A second, complementary publication, “Educational governance at local levels: modules for capacity building”, provides capacity-building activities in four modules. Both publications can be downloaded from the links below. Printed copies and a CD/ROM are also available on demand.
