我们研究了学校教育的权力下放，特别是德国和英国这两个国家。在第 2 节中，我们探讨权力下放和去中心化的概念。我们研究了不同类型的权力下放以及与之相关的一些想法，包括在教育领域提高教育水平。在第 3 节中，我们考虑德国和英国的教育分权。我们研究了政治权力的下放、国家和国家以下各级推行的政策以及向学校一级的责任下放。然后，我们比较两个案例研究国家的成就水平，并探讨在国家以下各级推行的特定政策是否可能与不同的成就水平相关。我们认为，教育领域的分权是多方面的、复杂的，不同类型的分权并存。我们的分析表明，由于权力下放而采取的某些政策可能与不同的教育成果相关，但不可能得出明确的结论，特别是考虑到不同的政治、政策和社会经济背景。
We examine decentralisation in school-based education, with particular reference to two countries, Germany and the UK. In section 2 we explore the notions of devolution and decentralisation. We examine different types of decentralisation and some of the ideas with which it is associated including, in education, improving educational standards. In section 3 we consider the decentralisation of education in Germany and the UK. We examine the decentralisation of political authority, policies pursued at national and subnational levels, and the delegation of responsibilities to school level. We then compare achievement levels in the two case study countries and explore whether particular policies, pursued at subnational levels, might be associated with differing levels of attainment. We argue that decentralisation in the field of education is multifaceted and complex, with different types of decentralisation coexisting. Our analysis suggests that certain policies, pursued as a result of decentralisation, may be associated with different educational outcomes, but it is not possible to draw definitive conclusions particularly in light of the differing political, policy, and socioeconomic contexts.
