– Can it now be appropriate to let in more than planned?<br />
– We must discuss with the Ministry of Education, says Grønlie,<br />
who believes that education gives headmasters a solid foundation<br />
for strengthening their own school.<br />
– The students are role playing and problem solving. They learn how<br />
to communicate with elected representatives and school owners.<br />
They also learn how to change an undesirable culture in schools<br />
and on how to improve schools in areas where it does not go so<br />
well, says Grønlie. The applicants must fi rst get approval from the<br />
school owners - the municipalities and counties - before they start<br />
the headmaster’s program.<br />
Grønlie refers to the experience that few school owners say no.<br />
Dahl in Norwegian Association of School Leaders encourages own-<br />
ers to say yes.<br />
– This is very important. We get feedback that the principals with<br />
this education feel safer and handle everyday challenges better<br />
than those without this education, says Dahl.<br />
