Every autumn, large numbers of children in the Nordic countries turn up for the first day of the new school year. Their schools prepare them for further education and equip them for active and satisfactory participation in society and the world of work. Nordic co-operation is designed to improve the quality of the teaching schools are able to offer each individual child in order to get kids off to the best possible start in life.
Why co-operate on elementary schools?
Establishing a good education and research community is a central objective for the Nordic Region. Just as the Nordic countries are close to each other in terms of geography, history and culture,
the education systems also have several similarities and face common challenges. We have a great deal to learn from each other. Through co-operation, we achieve better results that benefit our schools and other educational and training institutions, not to mention their pupils and apprentices.
