A professional and responsible State

In parallel with the need for a transformation of education, today we are witnessing a structural change in political institutions. These changes are in multiple dimensions at once, including institutional design, organizational systems and management technologies.

The complexity of leadership and management processes involved in a transformation as proposed, are impossible to be implemented without such modernization. With respect to proposals or disappearance minimization is urgent reorganize state. This involves primarily professionalize ie include in it the necessary powers to carry out its mission.
A small but strong state that can regulate and control to address the decentralization necessary to work with the construction of a more participatory democracy. An effective state, professionalized, which can account for their actions and can be held responsible for the results of the actions of the education system.

The skills involved in this process are political and technical nature. In the technical, requires the development of modern planning and decision making, monitoring and evaluation systems quality, educational information systems, control systems, which are developing slowly in the area of the region.

Harder presents the construction of other systems, absolutely necessary for educational change because they are the essential tools to advance the changes. I refer to the development of strong management support for decision -making, such as financial management systems, the human resource management and operational information systems. Managing these dimensions of management is the big difference between managing and driving educational reform and transformation it poses political risk measures, but also high technical complexity.

The new economic policy measures involved the dismantling of many existing public bodies, without their having to be replaced immediately by new organisms.
It will be impossible to consolidate the reforms initiated if not substantially improve the functioning of public institutions. We are entering a slower phase, more unpredictable and generally more difficult, creation and rehabilitation of social institutions.

The pending reform agenda by governments across the region have in common the need to carry out a series of sophisticated public management tasks in conditions where a growing popular impatience at the slowness or absence of tangible results joins devastation of the most critical public bodies to generate these procedura insolventei results.
Governments will have to concentrate on developing the organizational infrastructure of the state to modernize the financing, production and distribution of public services in many areas : education, health, transport, justice and public safety, to name only the most obvious.
