23 May 2023 at 16:52 Udir has sent the Ministry of Education a statement about the exam problem – We have now sent a statement to the Ministry of Education about delayed login on Monday 22 May. Transparency about what happened is important, and our most important task in the coming weeks is to ensure a good and safe completion of the exam, says Morten Rosenkvist, Director of the Norwegian Directorate of Education in a press release. – We apologize to every student and individual who was affected by the delayed login. It created an uncertainty on top of the exam nerves that were already there, says Rosenkvist. In the report, it appears that the Norwegian Directorate of Education allows for digital exams to be printed on paper in the event similar incidents like the computer problems on Monday happen again. – To ensure that the incident does not happen again, and for the sector to continue to have confidence in the systems and a digital exam, we therefore believe that it is necessary to reintroduce the printing and distribution of exams as a risk-reducing measure for the upcoming exam period, writes the Norwegian Directorate of Education in a briefing to the Ministry of Education. On Monday, there was chaos in several places due to computer problems with the written exam.
