Head of Section Hanna Norum Eliassen tells Dagsavisen, “Ethnic Norwegian pupils quit and applied to other schools last year and the year before. Some expressed loneliness at being “white” Norwegians, resulting in classes consisting of even more pupils from a minority background. Consequently, we lost some of the diversity we, students, and ethnic minority parents wanted.”
“It was a difficult, but responsible decision to keep the ethnic Norwegian students more united,” she continues, defending the choice by saying, “after much discussion and consideration, we ultimately took the difficult decision to place 14 ethnic Norwegians in the first two classes, but none in the third. It has led to fewer Norwegian students dropping out.”
