Abstract	Abstract Recent publications on changes in education have paid considerableattention to the interplay of control and extended autonomy. Thisinterplay takes place on three levels: between government and theindividual school; between school and the individual teacher; andbetween teacher and student. At each level there are issues surroundingthe relationship between a top-down and a bottom-up approach to changesin education. The major questions to be answered are: what goals are tobe achieved; what means of direction and control should be preserved;who exercises control over the goals and processes; how extensive is theautonomy of schools, teachers and students; and will self-regulation andautonomy become a reality? In this article we describe the interplay oftop-down and bottom-up processes in recent changes in senior secondaryeducation in the Netherlands. These changes include introducingself-regulated learning by students, flexibility in teachers' tasks,liaison with advanced studies in higher education, and raisingstandards.
