The purpose of this paper is to describe the formal restrictions, and possibilities, in teachers’
autonomy in Norway. The paper is the groundwork for a European comparison made by the
Slovenian Presidency of the European Union.
The last few decades have seen many reforms in the field of teaching and education in
Norway, as in the rest of Europe. These reforms and changes have affected the role of
teachers in many ways; for instance on the influence teachers have on their daily work
situation, or the influence teachers have in central negotiations concerning wages and working
hours.
This paper is an attempt to describe teacher autonomy and influence. It is written on
commission from the Norwegian Ministry of Education and Research, and is a part of the
Norwegian contribution to the collection of information on responsibilities and autonomy of
teachers in preparation for the working document for the Slovenian presidency of the
European Union.
