Education in Västerbotten
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
main principle of the division of responsibilities and functions
within the Swedish education system today is that Parliament and the
Government should control educational activities by defining
national goals and guidelines for education.
|
|
|
|
|
|
 The
central and local education authorities together with the different
organisers are responsible for ensuring that the education system is
organised in accordance with national goals. Within the
framework and |
|
guidelines
laid down by Parliament and the Government, the organisers enjoy
considerable freedom to determine how activities are to be
implemented and resources distributed and used.
