It is studied that decentralization as a multifaceted phenomenon that determines the centrifugal processes in the state, is both a principle and amethod and a feature of public administration. It provides for the transfer of powers and responsibilities from the central government to the lowerlevels of government and to the private sector. In addition, decentralization presupposes the delegation of certain powers and responsibilities tosubordinates, giving them greater freedom of will and, with it, greater responsibility. In the context of the transformation of social processes, thedecentralization of management of Ukrainian society is an important factor in stimulating the democratization of education. Occasionally, foreignexperience in decentralizing education management and improving its quality at various stages of the educational process should be used.The article emphasizes the possibility of using in Ukraine the following achievements of the Polish experience of decentralization of basiceducation management: at the national level – on approaches to funding at the local government level, public policy in the field of curricula, textbooks,teacher training, transparent mechanisms for quality control of education (inspection service, external evaluation, education quality monitoringsystem); at the level of local governments – on the financing of schools and the implementation of educational policy in accordance with local needs,community involvement in education, monitoring the quality of education at the local level; at the level of educational institutions – to involve thepublic in school development planning, conducting self-assessment of school work.It is determined that the decentralization of public administration, as evidenced by international experience, is a significant incentive fordemocratization of education, and thus better meet the educational needs of each person, effective use of local resources in education andsocialization of education, which is reflected in the spread of new tools of public influence on the education system, increasing the autonomy ofeducational institutions and their role as public institutions.
