Every year, the Ministry sets objectives in a Statement of Intent, a planning and accountability document with a five-year horizon. Since 1988, there has been a devolution of management responsibilities to schools along with increased power for the Ministry to intervene in failing schools since 2001. In 2007, 24% of decisions at lower secondary level were taken centrally, with schools taking the remaining 76% of decisions (see Figure 7 for 2010 OECD average). From available data, only English and Dutch schools had higher decision-making capacity. Elected governing boards run individual early childhood education providers, and are responsible for staffing, financial management, compliance, reporting, and setting and measuring performance targets.
