26 SES 07 A, When National Policies meet the Local Level: Cross-National Comparisons
Symposium
Contribution
The Swedish paper will present findings from the 2011 school board survey from a national sample of school districts. The large-scale survey was undertaken in 2011, and the respondents were members of the local school board that was responsible for decision making about educational issues. The research provides an investigation of school policy making at the local government level in Sweden.. The study asked questions related to why people choose to serve on such committees, how the committees operate and make decisions, what the most important issues were and how much impact, influence and autonomy these committees have. Moreover, the paper analyses the school boards perceived capacity and competence in various domains of local governance. The survey data is furthermore matched with performance indicators from national databases in order to provide a more fine-graded picture of local school governance in Sweden
