Elise Farstad Djupedal

Elise Farstad Djupedal is a pedagogy researcher at NTNU who has gained attention for her critical views on the increase of teaching hours in schools. Her notable article 'på skuldrene til de minste' discusses the growth in school hours since 1990, arguing that simply adding more hours does not equate to improved educational outcomes. Djupedal has voiced strong opposition to recent proposals by Høyre for extending the school day for younger students, emphasizing that the quality of education, particularly for early learners, should not be sacrificed for increased classroom time.
