5 SERIES SCOPE The purpose of this Series is to meet the needs of those interested in an in-depth analysis of current developments in education and schooling in the vast and diverse Asia-Pacific Region. The Series will be invaluable for educational researchers, policy makers and practitioners, who want to better understand the major issues, concerns and prospects regarding educational developments in the Asia-Pacific region. The Series complements the Handbook of Educational Research in the Asia-Pacific Region, with the elaboration of specific topics, themes and case studies in greater breadth and depth than is possible in the Handbook. Topics to be covered in the Series include: secondary education reform; reorientation of primary education to achieve education for all; re-engineering education for change; the arts in education; evaluation and assessment; the moral curriculum and values education; technical and vocational education for the world of work; teachers and teaching in society; organisation and management of education; education in rural and remote areas; and, education of the disadvantaged. Although specifically focusing on major educational innovations for development in the Asia-Pacific region, the Series is directed at an international audience. The Series Education in the Asia-Pacific Region: Issues, Concerns and Prospects, and the Handbook of Educational Research in the Asia-Pacific Region, are both publications of the Asia-Pacific Educational Research Association. Those interested in obtaining more information about the Monograph Series, or who wish to explore the possibility of contributing a manuscript, should (in the first instance) contact the publishers.

8 INTRODUCTION BY THE SERIES EDITORS This timely book examines the important matter of whether or not the localization of administrative authority in education systems is preferable to more centralized systems. Traditionally, the norm has been that power, authority and decision-making concerning the operation of education systems has been centralized in the hands of a few persons or vested interest groups located in the Head Office of the education system in question. However, as part of the process of innovation and of educational change, over the past four or five decades many countries in Asia have redistributed power away from Head Office, creating instead decentralised structures that seek to be more sensitive to local cultures and needs and which attempt to improve administrative efficiency. Although the move from centralization to decentralization has become an important manifestation of the education reform process in an increasing number of countries in Asia, it has not always been consistent and is not without its critics. As the editor of this volume, Professor Bjork, points out, over the last half-century, the tide of popular opinion has shifted back and forth from pro-centralization to pro-decentralization a number of times, creating a pendulum effect. The fifteen authors in this volume examine the extent, and ways, in which evidence from the Asian case studies either supports or refutes the main arguments generally presented in favour of decentralization, with particular reference to the claimed benefits of power sharing, possibilities for achieving increased efficiency, and for best accommodating diverse needs within communities. As a group, the contributors present the most common arguments advanced to advocate the value of educational decentralization initiatives, and present case study evidence that supports, refutes, or raises questions about the justifications for devolving authority over systems. This book is a very timely and helpful contribution to the ongoing debate regarding the matter of cost-benefit analysis concerning decentralisation of education systems in various countries in Asia. By providing case studies of experience (and approaches) to the decentralisation vs. centralisation of education systems in China, Hong Kong and Macau, Singapore, Japan, Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, the authors identify best practices and innovations, as well as stumbling blocks, associated with crucially important issues concerning most effective approaches to the organisation and management of education systems in Asia. Of particular interest is how countries can best approach decentralisation in their education systems at a time of which is, for many of them, a period of rapid change (even instability), as they seek to diversify their education systems to meet the challenges of globalisation, modernisation and (to a varying extent) the westernisation of their education systems. As the editor of this latest volume in the Springer Education in the Asia-Pacific Region Series points out: Efforts to decentralize education systems in Asia have ix
9 x INTRODUCTION BY THE SERIES EDITORS yielded an array of fascinating puzzles, lessons of experience, and unanswered questions. How can we make sense of that rich but sprawling amalgamation of data? In answering this question, the authors in this volume considers the motives that have given rise to decentralization initiatives, to guide an in-depth analysis of those measures.
