A 2012 law stipulates that the ratio of disadvantaged students in each school shall not exceed the average ratio of disadvantaged people in the settlement by more than 15 percentage points. However, the effect is likely to be limited because of the existing geographic segregation. The 2013 recentralisation of responsibilities may help in this respect as poorer municipalities often lacked resources to finance school infrastructures, while the central government may provide more funds (Box 2). The general increase in teachers’ wages may also help in recruiting and retaining more highly qualified teachers.
