The Norwegian Education Mirror 2022

Pupils' digital skills are a prerequisite for coping with life and for succeeding in education, work and community participation (Ministry of Education and Research 2017).
The vast majority of pupils have their own digital devices. It is usual to use tablets in primary school, while PCs or Macs are more common in lower secondary school and upper secondary school. School leaders are, for the most part, happy with their infrastructure and digital devices for teachers and pupils.

Schools normally use both digital and printed teaching aids, but the turnover of digital teaching aids has increased in recent years. Over half of schools have mainly purchased new digital teaching aids for the new curriculum. Teachers have a great influence over the type of digital teaching aids purchased by schools.

Increased digitalisation also presents schools with new challenges. Privacy protection and data security in schools are mentioned in 8 out of 10 municipalities' plans for digitalisation.

Pupils report that they use digital tools for learning in most subjects, and that they learn to be critical about the information they find online.

Most kindergartens use digital tools to document their pedagogical work and to communicate with parents and guardians, and 6 out of 10 use these tools to plan and assess activities in connection with children's play and learning.
