The case summarized: The number of applicants for the study as a kindergarten teacher is declining, with a decrease of 16% this year. The search is the lowest in ten years a leader in the Education Association, Geir Røsvoll, believes this is serious and that many daycare managers already believe the staffing situation is bad or very poor. Research and Higher Education Minister Sigrun Aasland wants to motivate more people to qualify for kindergarten jobs and believe that several of those who already work in kindergarten should take education in adulthood. The right-wing kindergarten political spokesperson, Kari-Anne Jønnes, believes the turmoil around private kindergartens has made it less tempting to become a kindergarten teacher and sees the need for a new kindergarten settlement. Boards Lars Thomas Flekkum in Storeper Kindergarten believes it can motivate more if you get their eyes on the significance of the kindergarten employees in children’s lives.

The children in Storeper kindergarten in Sarpsborg flock around Guro Åkerman. – Getting to work and meeting the kids running towards you and shouting your name. It is one of the most rewarding in this job, says Guro, who is a kindergarten teacher. She thinks that little is being advertised for the good aspects of working in kindergarten.

But fewer and fewer will, and this year, 16 per cent fewer have applied for education as a kindergarten teacher. The search is the lowest in ten years to the twelve study sites that offer three -year education to kindergarten teacher. It worries the leader of the Education Association, Geir Røsvoll. – It’s very serious. Our figures show that one in three kindergarten managers already think the staffing situation is bad or very poor, he says. This week, the figures came from Samordna admissions showing that there is a record increase for education to become a nurse and teacher in primary school, while the kindergarten teacher education has a decline. He thinks the applicant numbers go down because of the job itself. – Unfortunately, working in kindergarten has become so demanding that many people choose it away, Røsvoll claims. – Must motivate more people the weak search for the kindergarten teacher makes the basic staffing in many kindergartens poor, and there is a lack of temporary workers. This, too, can turn into the applicant numbers, according to the Education Association. Research and Higher Education Minister Sigrun Aasland wants to motivate more people to qualify for kindergarten jobs.

Her solution is to tempt more people with the good aspects of kindergarten jobs. – We need to motivate more young people to apply for this important education. Then we also have to get more of those who work in kindergarten already to take education in adulthood, she points out. -Been a lot of unrest Høyre’s kindergarten political spokesperson, Kari-Anne Jønnes, is not surprised that the applicant numbers of kindergarten teacher are declining. – There has been a lot of unrest in the kindergarten sector in recent years. Now it is time to gather for a new kindergarten settlement, which I hope we will get. All the turmoil around private kindergartens has made it less tempting to become a kindergarten teacher, says Høyre’s Kari-Anne Jønnes. Now there is a majority in the Storting to give children born in December the right to kindergarten space from the month they turn one year. Today they have to wait until August the following year. This will create a need for even more resources in kindergartens. But Jønnes does not see this as problematic. – When we land a kindergarten settlement, and we get the December children into the kindergarten, and we focus on education and development opportunities in the kindergarten teacher profession, this will be a boost for kindergartens, and this needs Norway. Search number 2025 – Universities and colleges 142 004 people have applied for admission to universities and colleges through Samordna admission. 64,542 study places are announced across 1,383 studies. There is the greatest increase in planned study places in the educational areas of land and aquaculture and health sciences, with 306 and 302 places respectively. By 2025, 86 464 women and 55,540 men applied for admission to basic studies, with a women’s share of 60.9 % and a man’s share of 39.1 %. The applicant numbers do not show how many of the applicants are qualified for the studies they apply for. This will be clear at the end of July when the main recording is completed. The average age is 24.6 years for full -time studies The average age for part -time is 33.5 years and 32.6 years for network and collection -based studies.

Kindergartens have received too much negative attention, says Lars Thomas Flekkum in Storeper kindergarten in Sarpsborg. Photo: Tomas Berger / news – We create good relationships that make those children remember us for the rest of their lives, says Tampum. Getting the focus of the important job done in the daycare sector is very important, he says. But he also believes that kindergartens have often been “talked down” in the media. – I am afraid that the view of the kindergarten sector and the importance of the work we do has been a bit negatively presented. This means that many people are looking for other educational directions, Flekkum believes. The latest figures on the decline in the applicant mass for kindergarten teachers were talked about among the educators in Storeper kindergarten when they arrived on Monday. There they thought back to the pandemite time, when the kindergartens suddenly became very important. – We were in the first line for all vulnerable children, and then we were deprived of that role relatively quickly. No one has talked about it afterwards, so we were forgotten a little, he experiences. Two boys relax in Huska in Storeper kindergarten. Photo: Tomas Berger / news Published 29.04.2025, at. 06.49
