Delegation is when the headmaster asks one teacher to handle the morning assembly for a week—the responsibility is still his. Decentralisation is when the school management committee, with parents and local elders, decides on the mid-day meal menu. In our village school, delegation happens often, but true decentralisation? Rare. They send us textbooks from Bangalore but won't let us decide how to teach them to our children who are helping in the fields half the day.
