ABSTRACT

In light of the 20th anniversary of local autonomy, this study aims to present a desirable direction for educational reform. The local administration system of educational autonomy is analyzed according to the following aspects, which are examined within the framework of administration and power-autonomy: district, tier, political-administrative relations, and relations between public education administration and local government. If autonomy were to be granted to the local government by the municipal government, educational administration and general administration should be combined. Concerning this new reform system, both parties should be conscious of these aspects, acknowledging that they were historically separate entities whilst understanding that they are now combined. Going forward, this will prove to increase the efficacy of local autonomy. Local autonomy and educational autonomy must start off by addressing their coinciding green agenda and restricting their broad goals. In order to successfully start to implement these reforms, there must be decentralization. This is not a simple matter of conceding power, but a matter of instilling autonomy creating-devices into the general populace; this will be possible through education. The elementary local class must re-establish education reforms while claiming educational autonomy.
