Important information for new families in town with children of all ages.
Secondary schools belong to the third level of schooling, where education is not compulsory.
Everyone who have completed primary school, received an equivalent basic education or reached the age of 16 can begin their studies in a secondary school.
The upper secondary schools are operated by the government. Everyone needs to look into different schools to see what suits them. The organisation of classes and curriculum at the secondary-school level aims at meeting different needs.
It is of great importance that future secondary-school students and their guardians are well informed about the various courses offered by schools. Student counsellors and other staff at primary and secondary schools are able to provide information.
Students who are completing the 10th year at primary school, along with their guardians, will receive a letter from the Ministry of Education in the spring containing information concerning registration in a secondary-school day-school program.
