Abstract | This paper presents findings of a study that examined changing governance structures in the educational systems of several European countries. The reforms have developed new modalities for the content, standards, administration, and control of education. Special attention is given to the relation between the reforms in authority structures and the reforms regarding quality-control mechanisms. The paper examines the extent to which differences occur in the direction and character of these reforms, with a focus on centralization and decentralization efforts. It describes the tradition of the education system, the reforms implemented, and the perspectives of the realized reforms in England, Wales, the Netherlands, Germany (especially the former German Democratic Republic), and Russia. Findings indicate that functional decentralization to nongovernmental agencies has occurred in England, the Netherlands, and Russia. Territorial decentralization can be found in Germany and Russia. All countries experienced the redistribution of power, increased parental influence, and a general movement from control of input to control of output. Professionals' influence decreased in the western systems and increased in the eastern systems. One figure is included. Contains 27 references. (LMI) |
