Norway to restrict AI use in primary schools amid declining academic performance
By
Stef Verhagen
Summary
Norway's government will restrict AI use for primary school pupils starting next academic year, citing declining school results and concerns that younger children lack critical thinking skills and self-regulation. Education Minister Kari Nessa Nordtun emphasized that students must first learn to read, write, and calculate before using AI. Students in grades 8-10 may be introduced to AI gradually with trained teachers, while upper secondary students will learn appropriate AI use for future studies and employment.
