Kumalo, Siseko H. – Higher Education Quarterly, 2021
Interrogating the White Paper 3 of 1997 which upholds academic freedom, institutional autonomy and public accountability, I make the case for justice through higher education using public accountability. I argue that the higher education system in South Africa is capable of fulfilling such a role in the context of extreme injustices but not…

Alison L. Milner; Christian Ydesen – Nordic Journal of Studies in Educational Policy, 2024
School autonomy with accountability (SAWA) reforms have developed in diverse forms in Northern Europe.

With an abductive approach, we explore the…

Pashiardis, Petros; Brauckmann, Stefan – Leadership and Policy in Schools, 2019
The leadership inside and outside the schools envisioned in the context of output-oriented new public management reforms reacts upon the complexity and visibility of changes in a school environment. Thus, the main purpose of this conceptual article is to explore the under-theorized and under-researched relationship of the new public management mix…

Haugen, Cecilie Rønning – Journal of Education Policy, 2019
Internationally, the autonomy of schools and teachers is under pressure. In Norway, recent policies emphasise output control through national testing, combined with holding schools and teachers accountable for students' results. Whereas recent research documents that the autonomy of schools and teachers is weakening in Oslo, there is little…

Garnett, Nicole Stelle – Manhattan Institute for Policy Research, 2021
Parental-choice debates typically focus on whether private schools should receive public funds "at all."

Groff, Peter – Progressive Policy Institute, 2018
Progressives have long understood that access to a quality education is the one factor that consistently and permanently changes the trajectory of a life. As such, creating a strong public school system has been at the epicenter of our decades-long struggle to promote equal rights and equal opportunity for all. For many of America's families of…
