Arnar Ævarsson

Arnar Ævarsson is a former executive director of Heimilis og skóla and an expert in education who has raised concerns about the quality of external evaluations of Icelandic primary schools. He argues that these assessments often misrepresent the actual performance of schools, allowing those that do not meet standards to appear compliant. With a Master's degree in education focusing on efficiency and policy from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, Arnar has extensive experience in advising on educational reforms and conducting both internal and external evaluations for schools, including those in Reykjavík. He emphasizes the need for accurate assessments to drive improvement within the education system.
