OECD Review of Policies to Improve the Effectiveness of Resource Use in Schools
OECD Review of Policies to Improve the Effectiveness of Resource Use in Schools Country Background Report for Austria Prepared by Michael Bruneforth, Bernhard Chabera, Stefan Vogtenhuber, Lorenz Lassnigg Autumn 2015 This report was prepared by the Ministry of Education and Women’s Affairs (BMBF), the Federal Institute for Educational Research, Innovation & Development of the Austrian School System (BIFIE) and the Institute for Advanced Studies (IHS) as an input to the OECD Review of Policies to Improve the Effectiveness of Resource Use in Schools. The OECD and the European Commission (EC) have established a partnership for the project, whereby participation costs of countries which are part of the European Union’s Erasmus+ programme are partly covered. The participation of Austria was organised with the support of the EC in the context of this partnership. The report responds to guidelines the OECD provided to all countries and it aimed to prepare for the country visit of the OECD review team to Austria in June 2015. The opinions expressed are not necessarily those of the national authority, the OECD or its member countries. Further information about the OECD Review is available at www.oecd.org/edu/school/schoolresourcesreview.htm. The published version of the country background report entails a number of editorial changes.

Funding and Governance of School Education in Austria
OECD Reviews of School Resources: Austria 2016 © OECD 2016 Chapter 2 Funding and governance of school education in Austria This chapter is about the funding and governance of primary and lower secondary education in Austria. It analyses the overall budget for education and the distribution of funding across levels of education, provinces, school types and resource categories. It looks at the complex distribution of responsibilities for governing, financing and administering different school types between the federal, provincial and municipal levels and the extent of school autonomy taking recent reforms and proposals for further reform into account. It considers the strengths and challenges inherent in the current system highlighting the problematic incentives, the lack of transparency and trust, and the inefficiencies the complex system of governance generates and makes policy recommendations to address these issues through a reform of governance and funding mechanisms. The statistical data for Israel are supplied by and under the responsibility of the relevant Israeli authorities. The use of such data by the OECD is without prejudice to the status of the Golan Heights, East Jerusalem and Israeli settlements in the West Bank under the terms of international law. 71 2. FUNDING AND GOVERNANCE OF SCHOOL EDUCATION IN AUSTRIA Context and features Goal-oriented budgeting and goals for the education system The Austrian government has undertaken significant steps in recent years to promote goal-oriented budgeting. Building on a comprehensive reform launched in 2009, new budgeting principles were introduced in 2013. These principles promote an orientation towards the outcomes of policy making rather than the inputs as well as efficiency and transparency. -

Starting in 1997 the region focused on entrepreneurial innovation and growth. Today, the RIS3 strategy together with the Europe 2020 goals are main factors to establish a new economic program. In order to exploit the dormant potential of the region the new “Economic Strategy Lower Austria 2020”, based on SBA principles, has been defined with the guideline : ”Provide impetus and set priorities”. This way an important paradigm shift took place when it comes to supporting entrepreneurship in Lower Austria: Moving away from ”passively offered services” and aiming at active identification and mobilization of entrepreneurial potential. -
