Abstract | This chapter will provide an overview of how the Norwegian school institution has evolved from the early 1980s and up to the current situation. During nearly four decades, partly as a result of economic globalization and free markets, economic norms and values have gained greater influence over school philosophy and public sector governance. Since the first PISA study in 2001 placed Norway just at the mean of the participating OECD countries, national media and politicians have focused on how to raise student achievement in basic subjects such as literacy, mathematics, and science, through curriculum reforms and a national quality assurance system. As noted in policy reviews, this development has resulted in a technocratic curriculum regime based on management-by-objectives and ranking of schools and municipalities based on student achievements. In a similar vein, a shift has been observed from the traditional model of public sector governing, in which standardization and equality have been prominent values, toward a service-providing model, where people are mainly seen as consumers or clients. In this institutional context, leadership roles at different levels of the school system have been redefined, and this chapter discusses this development in the light of new institutional theory.
