This paper analyzes the impact of the decentralization policy on the education sector of the Department of Huila. It uses panel data on fiscal, administrative and political decentralization, as well as educational coverage and educational quality of all its municipalities in the period 2005-2015. The results show that educational coverage has a positive relationship with administrative decentralization, and that fiscal, administrative and political decentralization contribute to improving the quality of municipal education.

Keywords : Fiscal decentralization; administrative decentralization; political decentralization; educational coverage; educational quality: JEL: H75, H77, I22, R58.
