School and education

Here lies the heaviest single learning objective in the whole curriculum: the rights, duties and opportunities of children, young people and adults in the education system, worth just over 8 per cent of the test alone. Together with the two other objectives in this topic, school makes up nearly 20 per cent.

If you can only prioritise one topic, this is it.

What's covered

Rights and duties in the education system. Nursery school, primary school, upper secondary school, adults' right to education.

The values school is built on. What's expected of pupils and of parents, and why.

Public agencies around children. How nursery school, school and child welfare services cooperate and support.

Why it carries so much weight

Because it's what most people actually encounter. If you have children, you deal with school every week. The curriculum reflects that.
