Editor's Notes

  2. http://eng.menntamalaraduneyti.is/subjects/ http://bella.mrn.stjr.is/utgafur/skolenska.pdf Upper secondary education is not compulsory, but anyone who has completed compulsory education has the right to enter a course of studies in an upper secondary school. All schools at this level, like other schools in Iceland, are co-educational. Education at upper secondary level is free of charge but students pay an enrolment fee and purchase their textbooks. Students in vocational education pay a part of the cost of materials they use. The school year, which lasts for nine months, is divided into autumn and spring terms. Students generally attend 32 to 40 lessons per week, with each lesson lasting 40 minutes. Students may enter upper secondary schools at the end of compulsory schooling in the year they turn sixteen. In recent years, around 90% of the students who completed compulsory education have entered upper secondary education directly thereafter; the dropout rate during upper secondary schooling has, however, been considerable. The school year, which lasts for nine months, is divided into autumn and spring terms. Students generally attend 32 to 40 lessons per week, with each lesson lasting 40 minutes. There are around 40 upper secondary schools, of varying size. The largest schools have around 1,500 students and the smallest fewer than 50. CURRICULUM The law defines the objectives of upper secondary education as follows Teachers Upper secondary teachers of academic subjects shall have completed at least four full years of university education. At least two of these should be in a major subject and one year should be devoted to the study of education and instructional methodology. Teachers who hold a higher qualification in their teaching subject(s) than described above only need one semester’s study of education and instructional methodology.
