As described, the task of compiling systematic overviews of Norwegian and international educational research and make this knowledge available to the authorities and other users could go a long way toward solving this problem. However, higher spending in lower secondary education (beyond a certain basic level) is only tenuously linked to better student learning outcomes (OECD, 2007). According to PISA, the overall lack of a relationship between resources and outcomes does not show that resources are irrelevant, but that their level does not have a systematic impact within the prevailing range and it also depends on that resources are used efficiently.
