The objective of this article is to review the process of municipalization of educational management that took place during the period 2007 to 2011 in Peru and to reflect on other models in our region. Therefore, we will review the Peruvian, Brazilian and Chilean models considering that there is no single model. Using a qualitative approach that considers a systematic review, we have analyzed documentation that included criteria of origin, subject matter and temporality. The results indicate that in the Peruvian case there was a rush in the implementation of municipalization and as a consequence there was a duplication of functions; while Chile has begun to de-municipalize educational management, due to the mercantilist approach undermining public education. In the case of Brazil, a public education is presented that has total autonomy at all levels of government, which facilitates the municipalization of public education without this meaning that there are no complications in practice. We can conclude that, in our region, municipalization has had multiple approaches, orientations, and the issue of decentralizing education has many edges to explore.
