Homework and Homework Assistance

In some schools, a political decision has been made to implement a no-homework policy. Where no such decision exists, it is up to each school to determine whether they will assign homework.

Regardless of whether a school assigns homework, all schools provide homework assistance. The way this assistance is organized may vary from school to school. Some schools offer homework help to all students, while others limit it to specific grade levels or a certain number of students.

Students in primary and lower secondary school.

Homework assistance is free of charge.

This is a legally required service. See:
Opplæringslova § 4-4 og § 10-6.
Opplæringsforskrifta § 2-1.

All schools provide homework assistance, but it is not something parents need to apply for, as it is part of the school's responsibilities. The school will provide information about its homework assistance program.
