1st GCES Thematic Conference - "Governing Complex Education Systems" OECD Project - Effective Governance from the Centre


Date :  du 21-11-2011 au 22-11-2011

Lieu :  La Haye

Organisation :  Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD )


Programme : 
This first thematic conference will focus on the role of central government in complex, multilevel systems of governance. As regional, local and school levels receive more autonomy, the role of the centre is still crucial for a number of key reasons.


      One is that in all OECD countries every child has the right to quality education, and the minister of education will be held accountable to ensure that right. A second reason is that central ministries still play a leading role in the complex interactions of complex governance systems due to their capacity, i.e. their relative size, expertise and access to information. Regional and local level actors, confronted with chaotic complexity in the governance process, tend to look to the ministry for guidance. A third reason is that translating priorities into policies is a complex business technically but also politically, and ministries traditionally have most of the expertise and access to the relevant knowledge as well as being politically well placed to take the lead in this domain.

      The main question then is how central governments play their important central role in the system within the reality of multilevel governance.
