The average class size in the municipalities in 2013 varied from 18.6 students to 24 students.

Framework for utilisation of teachers’ working hours As described in Chapter 2, a new framework regarding the utilisation of working hours and working conditions for the teachers has been implemented as of 2014, along with the comprehensive school reform. The new working agreement is the result of a legal intervention by the national parliament to solve a long-standing conflict between the teachers’ union and LGDK. This legal intervention ended a long tradition for working hour regulations being agreed upon nationally between the teachers’ union and LGDK. These agreements constituted the framework for organising and utilising the time that teachers spend on their work, including ratios negotiated between the municipalities and the local branches of the teachers’ union for the time to be spent on preparation of teaching relative to the time spent for teaching. With Act 409, time management rules were dispensed, giving school leaders greater managerial discretion and local decision- making autonomy regarding the number of lessons that each teacher is to teach and the teaching-preparation ratio for individual teachers and subjects. The new regulation changes the framework for the utilisation of working hours, as it does not specify norms for the time to be used on the various tasks of the teachers. Until the summer of 2014, two national agreements on working hour regulations exist- ed side by side. Each municipality had to decide in negotiation with the local branch of the teachers union whether the 2005 or the 2008 agreement should be adhered to by the schools of the municipality. After the 2008 agreement was agreed upon at the na- tional level, if the municipalities and the local branch of the teachers union were una- ble to agree on the local elements of the agreement, the 2005 agreement would remain in effect locally (Lynggaard 2013). The main difference between the 2005 agreement and the 2008 agreement is that the 2008 agreement provided the teachers with more autonomy to independently organise their working time and a larger degree of auton- omy for the teachers and the school leaders to change the scope and content of various teacher tasks (Lynggaard 2013). Core elements in both the 2005 and 2008 agreement were nationally negotiated, and norms on the proportions of the working time for the teachers to be allocated to various tasks, including norms for teaching-preparation rati- 123 os, were locally implemented. In 2013, 86 out of the 98 municipalities had agreed with the local branch of the teachers union on adhering to the 2008 agreement. 47 With the new Act 409 of 2013, both the 2005 agreement and the 2008 agreement were terminat- ed. Organisation of the school year and the school day The school year is basically organised into 40 weeks of teaching. The Folkeskole Act specifies a minimum number of lessons for different subject areas at the various form levels from the 1 st to 9 th form. The minimum number of lessons applies for three-year periods. The minimum number of lessons for the school year 2010/2011 can be seen below. Download 1.6 Mb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
