Upcoming storm around Christian schools in Norway

from CNE's Newsround Europe · host Audun Raen, Evert van Vlastuin

Christian schools in Norway might face bad weather. The government's schools' inspection has criticised one of the schools for teaching the classical Biblical view on marriage. The schools organisation KFF has helped to protest against the inspection, says secretary general Audun Raen in this episode. The schools are waiting for the government to decide and to give direction. Other sources of concern are the legal framework in which independent schools function. On the one hand, there is a piece of law that guarantees the existence of schools. But on the other hand, local authorities can veto a new start-up's entry into their town.The funding of the independent schools is unfair, Audun Raen says in this CNE podcast. Christian schools only receive 70 per cent of the state money that public schools get. For more, visit https://CNE.news or subscribe to our newsletters at https://cne.news/subscribe
