权力下放一直是改善公共服务提供的一项受欢迎的战略，但它往往未能兑现其承诺。成功的执行需要中央政府发挥新的作用，支持权力下放，因为地方机构普遍缺乏履行其新职能所需的技术能力和资金。智利的教育权力下放使中央政府和地方机构之间的责任得到了适当的平衡。然而，权力下放对教育质量的影响好坏参半。需要中央政府加强监测和持续的财政支持，以改善公平和提高教育质量。
Decentralization has been a popular strategy for improving public service delivery, yet it has often failed to live up to its promise. Successful implementation requires the central government to develop new roles which are supportive of decentralization because local institutions generally lack the technical ability and the funds necessary to perform their new functions. Education decentralization in Chile resulted in an appropriate balance of responsibilities between the central government and local institutions. Decentralization had a mixed impact, however, on education quality. Improved monitoring and consistent financial support from the central government is needed to improve equity and raise the quality of education.
