School Reforms

Norway’s Folk School Act of 1936 mandated seven years of compulsory education. In 1960, an experimental plan for nine years of compulsory school was introduced, and starting in 1969, nine years of schooling became compulsory for all. This nine-year school, Grunnskolen, included a national exam. In addition, textbook review boards had been in place since 1908 (Bratholm, 2001). With these tools, as well as with a national binding curriculum, control of schools was centralized in much the same way as they had been in Sweden.

In the experimental plan of 1960, the subject changed its name from “calculation” (regning) to “mathematics.” However, the mathematics curriculum was completely traditional (Solvang & Mellin-Olsen, 1980). A final Grunnskolen curriculum was launched in 1976.
