Quality in Norwegian Early Childhood and Care, Schools and Vocational Education and training

Early Childhood and Care (ECEC) is for children under school age. Municipalities are responsible for the development and supervision of both private and municipal institutions and for ensuring that institutions are run according to the Framework Plan and the Kindergarden act.

The quality system gives an opportunity to investigate the quality of school learning environments and learning outcomes as preparation for participation in quality development processes.

At national level, the responsibility regarding quality management is to set the objectives, develop, and administer tools that school owners and schools can use in the work of developing quality.
