During the last years, the Ministry of Education, Culture and Research (former Ministry of Education) leadership has changed frequently. The central government administration reform also delayed the implementation of some of the activities. These somewhat decreased the frequency of debates in the education sector. Also, 2014 – Year 1 of the project – was a period of reforms and changes in the education sector; therefore, the score was higher and further expectations of experts in education were also higher. Thus, even a stagnation in the debates is interpreted as a regress currently. Another aspect of the lower results is the fact that many experts who participated in the survey were part of various Governments throughout these years, which may skew the results of the survey.
