# '''Decentralization''' ('''connecting school and community, strengthening teacher agency and school autonomy''') While the guidelines have been given, a lot depends on the teacher and school autonomy in designing and implementing the program.  The specific strategies will change based on the location, the kind of infrastructure available, the number of teachers and the demographic profile of students.  Locating the teacher at the centre of the effort and supporting decentralized efforts by schools and communities is likely to be more effective than a centralized one-size-fits-all program. This will enable  flexible, including 'out of box' local actions to emerge to changing situations.
