Leksehjelp i grunnskolen

Description

The municipality is obligated to provide free homework help for primary and lower secondary school students. The municipality can freely allocate homework help sessions between grades 1 through 10. Homework help is intended to help students with their school work. It is not considered part of their schooling, but should be viewed in this context. Participation is voluntary. The municipality is obligated to inform parents about their children’s right to homework help and the service that is offered. The municipality must ensure that the students receiving homework help have proper supervision and a good psychosocial environment.
