Note: The figures are based on the municipalities’ budget assumptions for the year and show the average school size in each municipality. The
individual schools in each municipality may be smaller or larger. The figures are based on the school as an organizational unit. The
number of schools may therefore include schools that have been amalgamated organizationally but not physically. For instance, two
schools that are organizationally amalgamated to one unit with one school leader, but continue to have two physical locations of build-
ings and teaching.

Based on the number of students per school, the general trend is towards larger
schools. However, it is worth noting that there are still large differences across munic-
ipalities between the smallest and largest school sizes measured by the number of stu-
dents enrolled.
Classes are basically formed based on the age of the students and not the students’ pro-
ficiency. In recent years, the number of students in each class has increased for all
form levels, from pre-school (form 0) to form 9 and the non-compulsory 10
th
form. In
total, i.e. including all form levels, the average class size increased from 20.1 students
in 2009 to 21.4 in 2013
