think children would forget how to write.
14. Will there be more whiteboards and eschoolbooks so that students don't have to
carry heavy bags?
Mrs.Torer: Yes, we plan to introduce eschoolbooks.
15. Do you have any information regarding
9 year primary school?
Mrs.Torer: It will be introduced in 2020.
Children will start attending school earlier
(it will be more -1st grade than 9th).
16. How do you feel about the changes in
the curriculum?
Mrs.Torer: The changes should be
introduced gradually because students
could get confused otherwise. Good things
should stay.
17.Will students be more involved in
planning and will there be more choice
subjects?
Mrs.Torer: Yes, they will, depending on
the reform.
18. The Scandinavian eucational system
has no grades – what do you think of it?
Mrs.Torer: I fully support it because you
should learn for yourselves and not for the
grades.
Mrs Torer, thank you for your time
and answers.
