Education

Preschool and primary school matters are important — education is the key to a strong future. In the last term, a new and impressive preschool was opened in Hvolsvöllur. We must now begin preparations to expand the primary school to meet population growth.

  • The preschool must meet the needs of parents and working life
  • Aim to introduce free preschool
  • Free meals in line with primary school
  • Align working days and closing days between school levels
  • Preschool summer break to be 4 weeks instead of 5
  • Aim for children in their final preschool year to receive free schooling all year
  • Review transport subsidies for preschool children so they follow the child unconditionally
  • Hvolsskóli needs an extension in the next term
  • Review the length of the school year
  • Strengthen the work school and explore opening applications to youth from outside the municipality
  • Press Strætó to run services aligned with school hours
  • Continue to highlight the importance of the boarding option in Selfoss
  • Explore the possibility of getting a FAB Lab
  • Strengthen dialogue with FSu to further support young people in the municipality when they pursue education in Selfoss
