Mathematics education in Norwegian academic-track upper secondary school

Abstract

The Norwegian school system consists of a seven-year primary school (grades 1–7, ages 6–13), followed by lower secondary school (grades 8–10, ages 13–16) and upper secondary school (grades 11–13, ages 16–19). While in primary and lower secondary school there is no streaming into different tracks, in upper secondary school, which is our main focus of attention here, there is a track structure which will be described in section 2 of the chapter.
