For K-9, it is partly compulsory, but only to a very small extend (knowledge about simple programming is part of physics). For general upper secondary it is an elective subject in 10-12th grade. However, schools may decide that it is compulsory for all or for all at certain study programs. |
| Informatics: Curriculum Consistency | Country |
Currently, informatics is not present in K-9. For 10-12th grade (gymnasium, or high school), the Informatics curriculum is described at two levels (C and B with B being the higher level) common to all secondary education ( technical , commercial, and general upper secondary). The curriculum is described with seven learning goals. The curricula may unfold differently in different types of secondary education, but formally they are the same. |
