Ulstein school of technology

One important principle for the technology initiative taken in Ulstein, is that all pupils should have equal preconditions for learning, therefore all schools, teachers and pupils are included in the effort. An engaged and inspiring principal is the key. This is crucial for whether the employees manage to keep pace with the development. There are established learning networks that share experiences across all the schools.
