The Norwegian school system.Compulsory primary and lower secondary schooling in Norway lasts for ten years and children start school the year they become six. Primary and lower secondary education is founded on the principle of equity and adapted education for all pupils in a school system based on the same National Curriculum. All children and young people are to share a common foundation of knowledge, culture and values. After the 10 compulsory school years for Norwegian children and they also have a right to attend 3 more years at school, higher secondary school. This is compulsory if you want to go on to higher education. Most Norwegian schools are municipal, and up inntil 2006 there were hardly any private schools.
