Helms Jørgensen, Christian; Järvinen, Tero; Lundahl, Lisbeth – European Educational Research Journal, 2019
In recent decades, a range of policy measures to support young people's school-to-work transitions has been initiated across Europe. However, these transition policies have rarely been studied systematically, particularly from a comparative perspective. Thus, the aim of this article is to compare Swedish, Danish and Finnish policies for supporting…

Alessandra Dieudé; Tine S. Prøitz – European Educational Research Journal, 2024
International trends promoting school diversity and choice have reshaped education across Europe, leading towards a multiplicity in ownership structures and varied governance configurations. More recently, this can also be seen in European countries with a long history of state-owned and governed public schools, such as in the Nordic states. The…

Avis, James – European Educational Research Journal, 2019
This paper engages with and reflects on the arguments developed by contributors to the special issue. These papers serve to provide a corrective to English and, on occasion, European perceptions, which often view the Nordic countries as being all of a piece and beacons of progressivism. The contributors provide analyses that not only point to the…

Muench, Richard; Wieczorek, Oliver; Dressler, Julian – European Educational Research Journal, 2023
This study seeks to explore the effect of tools of school governance advanced by the global reform agenda (1) on student performance and (2) on reducing the effect of sociodemographic variables on this performance. To do so, we compare two Nordic welfare states with an egalitarian tradition: Sweden and Finland. The Swedish school system has…

Lappalainen, Sirpa; Nylund, Mattias; Rosvall, Per-Åke – European Educational Research Journal, 2019
Educational equality has been a central tenet framing educational policy in Nordic welfare states and stimulating school reforms in the 1960s and 1970s. However, the conceptualisation of equality has fluctuated, reflecting the changing economic and political climate within which policy statements have been made. In this article, we analyse policy…

Eiríksdóttir, Elsa; Rosvall, Per-Åke – European Educational Research Journal, 2019
The age at which young people leave education for the labour market has increased in recent decades, and entering upper secondary education has become the norm. As a result, the diversity of the student population has increased, for instance in terms of students' academic merits and achievements at school. Increased diversity seems to affect…

The aim is to make visible how schools and teachers dealt with the demands that they were confronted with while under…

Persson Thunqvist, Daniel; Hagen Tønder, Anna; Reegård, Kaja – European Educational Research Journal, 2019
Political reforms of the 1990s ushered in sweeping socio-economic changes in the Nordic countries, including radical changes in their vocational education and training systems. However, the reforms led to a school-based vocational education and training system with a strong orientation towards higher education in Sweden, and a hybrid system with a…

Mølstad, Christina Elde; Karseth, Berit – European Educational Research Journal, 2016
The core curricular category of "learning outcomes" has entered the educational policy scene in Europe.

Lätti, Johanna – European Educational Research Journal, 2017
This article examines the equality agenda in the context of Finnish university reform in the 21st century. In Finland, the academic regime went through an organizational transformation after the Universities Act in 2009. However, little attention has been paid to the questions of sex or equality. Since the policy influences on equality in…

Ridell, Seija – European Educational Research Journal, 2008
The ongoing structural changes of the university are under heated debate worldwide, including the Nordic countries.
