Reform of general education
• The entire general education system is due for reform in terms
of objectives, lesson-hour distribution, the National Core
Curricula and local curricula.
• The transfer of early childhood education and care into the
administrative sector of the Ministry of Education and Culture
needs to be taken into account.
• The work will be carried out as a whole between 2012 and
2016/2017.
• Several core curriculum documents will be drawn up
concurrently.
• Each process of drawing up a core curriculum document
involves broad-based co-operation with education experts and
various stakeholders, as well as support for local curriculum
development efforts
