Summary/Abstract: As opening of my study I present the beginnings and main features of the centralised educational model of Napoleon. Then, I mention four developments that have led to some changes of this model. Firstly, at the end of the 19th century, teachers’ representatives could become involved in the work of the bureaucratic governing educational institutions. Secondly, in the 1980’s a small-scale decentralisation led to the development of a multi-stakeholder educational co-operation within educational priority aeras. Thirdly, I note the newly developed evaluation methods that somewhat altered the traditional school-administration model. Fourthly, I refer to those strategies of parents and schools that undermine the prevailing bureaucratic regulation. Finally, I demonstrate that the five different logic and regulatory models presented in my study coexist in the French educational system in a hybrid form.
