Description
Norwegian School Student Union (Elevorganisasjonen) wants to create a poster highlighting the importance of Section 9A of the Education Act, which is Section 12 in the new Education Act. We aim to show how the law helps protect students, especially those who feel school is not a safe or supportive place.
We want to convey this through these points:
- Chapter 9A was introduced in 2017 following a period of high levels of bullying in schools.
- Section 12-2 of the Education Act states that "All students have the right to a safe and supportive school environment that promotes health, inclusion, well-being, and learning."
- Norwegian schools have a duty of action to ensure students' safety and well-being in the school environment.
- Everyone working in the school system are obligated to intervene in cases of harassment, report incidents, and monitor students—not just the teachers.
-
The school is further obligated to implement measures to resolve situations, such as bullying and cyber-bullying etc.
-
The law is intended to ensure that students who experience bullying are taken care of.
