The Knowledge Promotion Reform (KPR), a comprehensive curriculum reform, was introduced in autumn 2006. The reform covers primary, lower secondary and upper secondary education and training.
The reform places increased focus on basic skills and knowledge promotion through outcome-based learning. The (LK 06) National Curriculum for Knowledge Promotion in Primary and Secondary Education and Training comprises:
• The Core Curriculum
• The Quality Framework
• Subject Curricula
• Distribution of teaching hours per subject
• Individual Assessment
In the Subject Curricula the five basic skills are integrated and adapted to each subject. These skills are: the ability to express oneself orally, the ability to read, numeracy, the ability to express oneself in writing, and the ability to use digital tools.
