Governance and policy instrument analysis in Dutch higher educationThe policy instruments of Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science can be improved, according to a CHEPS study by Renze Kolster, Don Westerheijden and Harry de Boer. Over the years, the balance between the steering philosophy, based on the idea of 'steering at a distance', and the policy instruments used has become unbalanced. Higher education governance can become more effective if different emphases are placed in the mix of policy instruments: less steering by means of regulation and more steering by means of consultation and transparency instruments. An upgrading of a permanent dialogue is seen as highly desirable. The researchers also note that few people in higher education have a clear view of the current steering philosophy and that there is a need to rethink the steering philosophy.Read more
