Norway's unified school system covers ten years of compulsory education (grunnskole, ages 6–16) followed by upper secondary (videregående). The curriculum emphasises student wellbeing, democratic values, and outdoor learning alongside academic achievement. International schools in Oslo and Bergen serve the expat community and internationally mobile families. Norway scores consistently well on PISA assessments.

Teacher salaries in Norway are among the highest in Scandinavia, starting at around NOK 450,000 and rising to NOK 600,000+ for experienced teachers. While income tax rates are significant, the comprehensive public services and quality of life are strong compensations. International school salaries are similar or higher, often with additional expatriate allowances.

EEA nationals register with the Norwegian National Registry to work freely in Norway. Non-EEA teachers need a skilled worker permit, requiring a confirmed job offer from a Norwegian employer. A recognised teaching qualification and degree are required. Norway's teacher shortage has created more accessible pathways, particularly in STEM and English-language subjects.
