Description
Summary:This article analyses regulations and public policies on private education at primary and lower secondary level in Denmark, Norway and Sweden. The article aims to investigate how far and in what ways public regulations condition fragmentation in the private school systems. We find considerable similarity between the public policies of the three countries. However, significant differences are identified too, especially concerning the degree of latitude accorded to private actors. The article argues that, in cases where private schools enjoy a high degree of latitude, this results in greater fragmentation of objectives and outcomes as well as in terms of educational practices and forms of schooling. Finally, the article discusses political and historical traditions as underlying explanations for why national policies differ.
