Some challenges for public institutions in the Dutch post–modern society

Abstract

In this article I present an overview of what I call megatrends in our society. Then I will point to six scenarios of schools, developed by the OECD. These scenarios give some ideas of what can happen with public institutions that are confronted with the megatrends I will formulate. But most important is the expectations from the society to this public institutes, who can be recognise in this scenarios. I will end with the formulation of three of this in my opinion very fundamental requirements for public institutes in the post–modern society.
