The Minister added that this draft decree comes in implementation of the provisions of Framework Law No. 51.17 relating to the education, training and scientific research system, especially those relating to the application of the principles and rules of governance in the management of the educational system by reviewing the organization of administrative structures and how they operate.

Mr. Baitas explained that the draft decree aims to comprehensively review Decree No. 2.02.382 issued on July 17, 2002, defining the competencies and organization of the Ministry of National Education, by defining the competencies that the National Education and Early Childhood Education Sector is actually responsible for, particularly those related to preparing government policy in the field of National Education and Early Childhood Education and ensuring its implementation in coordination with the ministerial sectors, bodies and institutions concerned, and defining the structures of the central administration of the sector and the tasks that it will undertake.
