Abstract
En 中文
• Decentralization improves test scores for struggling students by 20 percent. • High-achieving students’ scores decline, creating an equity-excellence trade-off. • STEM scores rise across all ability levels; humanities gains favor weaker students. • Poorer communities gain most, narrowing achievement gaps across regions. • Supporting excellence requires complementary policies, such as teacher recruitment.
