DECIDE is designed:
– to support regions and communities in creating new democratic models of education management;
– to promote training of managers in regions and communities to develop the education system in a new way, school principals – to manage transparently and democratically, teachers – to educate active and responsible citizens;
– to promote development of inter-municipal cooperation of communities in the field of education;
– to involve the best Ukrainian and Swiss experts to develop the system of education quality in Ukraine;
– to promote development of mechanisms for national dialogue on education reform.

The project will directly target 16 communities in 4 regions (total population coverage will be approximately 220.000 people, including 46% men and 54% women). The practical experience gained in the partner regions and communities will be disseminated in Ukraine.
