The Norwegian Education System is known for its inclusive and equitable approach. Education is compulsory for children aged 6 to 16, covering primary and lower secondary levels. The system emphasizes a broad curriculum that includes subjects like mathematics, science, and languages, along with practical skills and social studies. After completing lower secondary education, students can choose to attend upper secondary school, which lasts three years and offers both academic and vocational tracks. Higher education is available at universities and university colleges, where students can pursue various degrees. The system promotes lifelong learning and aims to prepare students for a globalized world.
