Since decentralization was launched in 2001, we have seen the emergence of many initiatives from the regional administrations in managing education.

According to Law No. 32 of 2004 which was amended by Law No. 23/2014, the goal of decentralization is to improve regional autonomy and school autonomy. Regional autonomy is the ability to organize, manage and facilitate education in the regions, while school autonomy is the ability to manage and implement quality learning. From various sources, it is found that thus far there have been various constraints in the regions to realize these two objectives.
