ABSTRACT
The greater complexity of interaction in the decentralized system has already been stressed. The reason for it is the equal importance of Internal Initiation, External Transactions and Political Manipulation as processes through which various groups and collectivities can bring about educational change. Furthermore, these different types of negotiation proceed simultaneously and have consequences which affect one another. This much was clear from the basic diagram presented at the end of Chapter 5. Instead of the simple convection current pattern of the centralized system (in which grievances were cumulated, passed upwards to the political centre, negotiated there through political interaction, before being transmitted downwards to educational institutions as polity-directed changes), a more complicated pattern of cross currents characterizes interaction and change in the decentralized system.
