Oktatásirányítás és oktatáspolitika a Balkánon
Governance of Education and Educational Policy in the Balkans

Summary/Abstract: This study compares the educational policy challenges of primary and secondary education systems in South East European Countries with the actual capacity of the respective governments to respond to these challenges. The overview is based on an international comparison in terms of differences among different, larger European regions, and it also analyzes the similarities and differences between countries of the South East European region. The analysis is based on a distinction existing among three European equity patterns: compensative education systems (a high level of equity and a high or medium level of quality), selective education systems (a low level of equity and high selection result in a below-average overall student performance) and the attritive education systems of most South East European countries (an extremely high proportion of failing students both in terms of participation and learning outcomes, which indicates serious equity and quality problems). The study maps out the characteristics of the educational governance systems that seriously weaken the problem solving capacity of governments in the region.
