The corona pandemic caused all teaching to suddenly move from schools to homes. Unlike many other countries, the Nordics had the digital infrastructure in place – but how did it go when all teaching had to take place via digital screens?

This debate is based on new research on digital teaching during the pandemic in the Nordic countries. What kind of education did the pupils receive, and how is home schooling in itself challenging the equality ideals of the Nordic societies?

Participants:

  • Marte Blikstad-Balas, Professor, University of Oslo
  • Edvard Botterli Udnæs, President, School Student Union of Norway
  • Kristin Eidet Robstad, Upbringing Director, Kristiansand municipality
  • Kjersti Botnan Larsen, Senior Adviser, the Ombudsman for Children in Norway

 

Watch live

The debate is sent live online from 14.00 (in Norwegian).
