National tests have been carried out annually since 2004 on approximately 180 000 pupils in the 5th, 8th and 9th years. The aim of the tests is to assess and develop pupils' skills in maths, reading and English. All levels from teachers to national authorities use the results from the national tests for quality development of primary and secondary education. The results can in certain cases also be used for research.
The Ministry of Education and Research has given the Directorate of Education responsibility for administering the test system in Norway. The Directorate enters into contracts for assignments for the development of tests with material with professional environments with competence in tests at national centres and university and university college environments.
