Abstract

This chapter presents the experiences from the education council in Germany. To ensure that the Scientific Council and the Education Council would provide independent advice led to each of them being organized differently. Both have a two-chamber system. In the Scientific Council, the Chamber of Government Representatives and the Chamber of Scientists decide together. In the Education Council, the Commission of Experts decided alone; it was, however, obliged to consult the Government Commission before taking any decisions. The Education Council and the Scientific Council are not made up solely of experts. The Education Commission of the German Education Council included experts in educational research, scientists with a general interest in education and representatives from public life. Administrative theory and administrative research are not very highly developed in Germany. This is not because of economic interests but because of problems of loyalty and discretion.
