How do I apply for school in Norway?

To anyone who has lived in Norway and went to primary school there?

• I am currently doing a project and study on international school systems and I picked Norway and 2 other countries. If you lived in Norway and went to primary school there (Or how ever they call it :p), Can you please answer these questions? *When did you start learning english? *How did the teachers teach you? (Strategies, were they fun, did they give you a lot of work, what type of work?) *What do you think the overall education system of Norway emphasizes that other countries don't? *What do you think of your nation's education system? If you can just answer one of these questions, I will be extremely thankful:)

• Answer:

  None of the teachers I have ever had in english has had the same approach to teaching English and it also change with age. I don't know what they emphasis comped to other countries but from age 6/7to 15/16 you have a very all rounded education then from age 16 to 19 you can choose between a pretty general academics education or a more pratical one. You also study quit a few subjects, in the two first years of High school you study 10-12 subjects before going down to about 8 the last two years of high school. What I think about the Norwegian education? Well I would have liked if they started with grades earlier (they starts with grades when you are 13/14 years old). I would also likes if you could specialize in fewer subjects once in high school , like in UK where you only study 3-5 subjects (One of the reasons I have applied to an UK boarding school). Also sometimes the teachers have a high education within the subject but are not fit to teach it to others. The teacher student is also pretty high from you are 6 years old (1 teacher to 25-30 student are to little expecialy when dealing with 6-8 years old)
