%X Since the 1980s, most countries in the world have experimented with New Public Management (NPM) reforms in a range of policy sectors (Hood and Peters 2004). Education, as one of the sectors of public administration with large budgets and large numbers of personnel in most countries, has been widely affected by NPM-driven reforms. As a consequence, the fragmentation of education systems in smaller units - via policies like school autonomy or parental choice - the professionalization of school management, and the logic of results-based performance have strongly penetrated into the regulation of education systems worldwide (Gunter and Forrester 2009).
