All appointments as teachers in the primary school are made
by the School Board. No one can receive a permanent
appointment, unless he or she has completed the 20th year, belongs to
the Established Church, and has passed a teacher’s examination.
About ⅓ the situations, however, may be filled on terms of
3 months’ notice, and for these appointments, and for visiting and
assistant teachers, no examination is required. There are two
grades of teachers’ examinations. The lower, which corresponds
to the entrance examination of the training colleges, gives what
is requisite for a permanent appointment in the infant school in
the country. The higher teachers’ examination, or leaving
examination at the training colleges, is required for a permanent
appointment in the town primary schools, and in the country primary
school’s second division. The teachers’ examinations are
organised by an examination committee consisting of three members,
who also have to superintend the instruction in the teachers’
training colleges.
There are, at the present time, 10 colleges for the training of
teachers for the primary school, 6 of which are public, one for
each diocese, and 4 private. The teaching in the public colleges
is free. In the private colleges, by the aid of government grants,
a considerable number of free students are admitted. The course
at present is 2 years. In a government bill lately brought before
the Storthing, however, it is proposed to make it 3 years. Both
men and women are admitted.
The following subjects .are taught at the training colleges:
Religious instruction (in the 1st Cl. 6 lessons a week, in the 2nd
4), Norwegian (7 — 6), history (3 — 3), geography (2 — 1), science
(3 — 3), arithmetic and geometry (4 — 3), writing (1 — 0), drawing
(2 — 1), manual work (2 — 2), music (3 — 2), gymnastics (3 — 2),
pedagogy (1 — 1), practical exercises (0 — 9).
To each of the public colleges is attached a 1 year’s
preparation class. Government aid is also given to private preparation
courses for lower teachers examinations, and for admittance
to the training colleges. In 1897—98, 18 of these courses
were held.
For the training of masters and governesses in sloid,
needlework, domestic economy, gymnastics, drawing, singing, writing
and repetition in these subjects, courses are held at longer or shorter
intervals, according to requirement. Holidays courses are
