Objective
The background of this proposal concerns the controversies in education policy and in current research into new ways to govern education in terms of deregulation, steering by results, marketization and so on. It takes as its central proposition the argument that the many recent changes in education systems throughout Europe will have had an impact on education's capacity to combat exclusion and promote social integration. We seek to understand the different responses of different nation states to changes flowing from the restructuring of the global economy and the rethinking of links between education and the economy. We suggest that it is important to study differences and similarities in the responses of education systems to shared problems in order to improve understanting of the limits and possibilities of education policy within the community, and so that lessons learned from recent changes may be more widely sharede. It is our ambition to clarify relations between education governance and social integration and exclusion in different contexts, to discuss such issues, and share our findings with those engaged in education issues in our communities.
The design of the work is based on the need to elaborate categories and explore relations between education governance, social integration and exclusion, and the implications of diffrences in national contexts to these relations. A step-wise research approach is developed. It is built on cooperation between researchers from diffrent countries which are cases for comparisons.
The countries are: Australia (research funded elsewhere), Finland, Germany, Iceland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and the UK. They are chosen in order to make it possible to compare differences in education traditions, economic preconditions, etc, in order to get a more general understanding of different ways to govern education and implications under different circumstances.
Joint studies will be carried out in terms of text analysis of public discourses on new ways of governing educations, in depth interviews with politicians, civil servants, teachers, and head teachers. In addition reviews of research and reanalyses of national and international statistics will be performed. Such studies will lead to more differentiated categories that will make it possible to construct more precise hypotheses that can be subject to empirical tests. We will carry out such tests in separate studies performed by the national poll institutes. A focus of survey planned will be the implications of new ways to govern education for the social integration and exclusiont of youth.
Exploitation of this research is considered to be of vital importance. We will establish a series of seminars and workshops leading to joint publications of articles and books. Furthermore, we have underlined the importance to discuss our findings in conferences with those engaged in education issues in different countries.
