NORWAY EDUCATION SYSTEM

 

SCHOOL EDUCATION 

As from 1997, Norwegian children start school during the calendar  year in which they reach the age of 6. Compulsory education  covers 10 years and consists of three stages: primary stage  grades 1-4 (age 6-10); intermediate stage grades 5-7 (ages 10-13)  and lower secondary stage grades 8-10 (age 13-16). Upper  secondary education lasts for three years. It consists of either  general or vocational studies. General studies comprise the  Foundation Course (first year), Advanced Course I (second year)  and Advanced Course II (third year) leading to the Certificate of  Upper Secondary Education.
