Arild Tjeldvoll – “Can Norway Learn from China? School Quality”
by
Abstract
Arild Tjeldvoll, being of the opinion that the academic quality of the Norwegian school has decayed over the past forty years, advises us to take an educational glance outside the country borders, trying to understand why other countries have succeeded in achieving secondary school quality. He conveys his own long years’ experiences with schooling in China and Norway, opposing Norway, trapped with a teaching profession based on recruitment over many years of academically weak graduates from secondary school and teacher colleges with questionable quality, to East Asia, with its hardworking students, respected teachers, committed parents, Confucian educational thinking, as well as the impressive economic development and social cohesion.
