Abstract

[Sweden is a democratic country with an established welfare system prioritizing education. The overall standard is good, and both preschool and adult education have a good reputation around the world. In Sweden the school system is both centralized and decentralized. A growing amount of independent schools, low results in international comparisons, and other societal changes has lately led to intensive reform to raise schools’ academic results. Principals’ roles as strong pedagogical leaders are expected, but there is a debate about how such leadership should be executed in practice.]
