The mayor of Porsgrunn expresses concern for children and young people in the ongoing teachers’ strike. – Our dispensation applications for the young people who have been out of school since the summer are rejected, writes Kåss on Facebook. He further writes that the municipality receives ominous messages from parents, child protection, psychologists and the municipal administration. – The government has a duty to protect life, health and important social functions. In my opinion, they should not wait any longer to intervene, says the mayor. He says many children and young people have not had a meaningful school offer since June. Kåss, who is also trained as a doctor, was state secretary in Jens Stoltenberg’s second government from 2008.
