  4. The city of Oslo • Aim is to provide bespoke education for every student. • Schools need pedagogical development, using ICT as an important ingredient • ICT investments in 20% of the schools each year

  5. Point of departure • A very mixed student body as regards to social and ethnic backgrounds and learning abilities. • A majority had a minority language background • Applicants had on average a very low score from secondary school • A great number of students were not motivated and had concentration difficulties • A great number of drop-outs during the year • Few applicants had Stovner College as their first choice

Goals • To increase the number of students leaving the college with a valid certificate of secondary education (i.e. university entrance qualifications) • To attract academically stronger students • To achieve that students find school less boring • To achieve that teachers find the school day more stimulating and exciting

  7. Investments • Reconstruction of classrooms • A new computer hall with 120 desks with a computer ready for the students in 2002 • Two new classrooms each with 30 desks and computers • 40 new computers for the teachers • An additional computer hall with 80 desks and computers ready in 2003 • The third computer hall with 120 desks and computers ready in 2004
