Nordic Models For A Democratic School - Janne Holmén - Bog

- Educational Reform and Political Culture in Sweden and Finland 1960-2020

Bag om Nordic Models For A Democratic School

"Nordic Models for a Democratic School" analyzes the efforts to create a democratic and equal society by the means of educational reform in Sweden and Finland 1960-2020, based on official print and earlier research. Of special concern is how the inherent contradiction between democracy and rule of law - the principle of the Rechtsstaat - has affected the development. For historical and geopolitical reasons, the balance between these principles has been different in Sweden and Finland. Swedish democratic development has been society-oriented rather than individual-oriented, without any real counterweight against the popularly elected politicians' influence over society, including the school system. In Finland, the powers of government have been limited by the mechanisms of the Rechtsstaat, with a decentralized state and more independent civil servants, including teachers. These differences in political culture have profoundly influenced the realm of education. Sweden has experienced continuous reforms, gives priority to democracy in the value bas of curricula, and emphasizes the schools function as a transmitter of values. Finland has experienced rare but revolutionary bursts of reforms, emphasizes human rights in the value base of curricula, and gives priority to the school's role as a transmitter of knowledge.
