In this essay an analysis and classification is made of the roll of implementation swedish municipalities have regarding the national quality assurance policy in the school sector. In the light of international trends of decentralisation and the development of new quality assurance systems the paper’s result classifies the municipalities as implementation roll number two according to Lundquist (1992) and his theory of implementation. The basis for this claim is given by the study of key actors in the municipal quality assurance work that shows that the implementation is made with a good understanding, with a loyal ambition but also with some shortcomings when it comes to the provision of necessary resources. Support for this is given by the case of municipality 2 that shows shortcomings regarding the number of employed, time, digital tools, knowledge and economic conditions. The same is shown in the case of municipality 1. Thus, the main conclusion of this essay is that the structural differences between the analyzed municipalities does not give rise to differences in the results of this study.
