As part of the 2014 Folkeskole reform there has been a new approach to the central supervision of municipalities, with a clear ambition to reduce bureaucracy and paperwork: municipal quality reports are now only required on a biannual basis and they should rely primarily on data that are available in the data warehouse. Based on these data, the central level monitors progress towards the reform goals and follows up in cases of underperformance. Central follow-up focuses more on support than on pressure.
