Educational Governance in Denmark
Moos, Lejf
Leadership and Policy in Schools, v13 n4 p424-443 2014
Denmark has entered global competition by expanding collaboration with European countries, which is profoundly impacting the public sector and school governance. Relations between the state and institutions are transforming from traditional democratic, public-sector models of governance into new forms characterized as corporate and market-driven approaches (e.g., strategic planning, accountability, social technologies, quality standards, and reports). Another important change is the trend toward treating schools as freestanding, self-governing institutions managed directly from the Ministry of Education rather than indirectly through municipalities. Consequently, the transformation of public sector governance in education has brought with it new influence patterns, relations, and positions.
