Mobility in Early Childhood and School Education

The curriculum for the pre-primary education level does not include specific provisions on international or European dimension in the education activities. However, circumstances applying to various groups may call for these issues to be addressed, in particular when the pupils are of foreign origin. 

Pupil and Student Mobility

Compulsory and upper secondary levels: Student exchange and other forms of co-operation with other countries at the compulsory and upper-secondary school levels in Iceland is mainly tied to Scandinavia, but exchanges with other European countries, e.g. the France and the UK, are also emerging.

Teacher Mobility

No government-planned initiatives are in place for teacher mobility within the lower stages of the educational system in Iceland.
