Committee examines teaching for children in child welfare institutions
The Standing Committee on Education and Research is examining a private member's bill from MPs Silje Hjemdal, Liv Gustavsen, Morgan Langfeldt, and Lill Harriet Sandaune on education for children in child welfare institutions. The committee shares concerns about schooling and education outcomes for this group and supports measures to give them genuine learning opportunities. The committee majority recommends that the Storting ask the government to consider pilot projects to reduce school dropout rates, while the minorities propose several alternative measures.
