Summary/Abstract: Public education content regulation has been of central concern of the new government. In this time period, not only have experts of curriculum development and regulation specialists made their attitudes known – also, school stakeholders are doing so as well. Overviewing and revision of the National Core Curriculum are regularly carried out as a result of the Public Education Act. This usually causes smaller or larger changes in local curricula. From 2010, however, these old routines have been amended within the context of new processes because of the changes in the relations of schools with the centralized leadership model. In our paper we have endeavoured to define and assess the differences in the core curriculum (National Core Curriculum and skeleton curricula). Another issue looked at is whether the loss of curriculum openness may induce types of substantive change into institutions or whether it is only the inserting of new compulsory subjects that may cause problems.
