Stenberg calls for spacious public school system in Faroe Islands

The leader of Gulaskúla, Jóhan M. Stenberg, is calling for a more spacious public school system. He points to statistics from the Ministry of Education indicating that the number of students attending special education classes has doubled over the past five years.

In a recent conversation, Stenberg emphasized the need for improved resources and facilities to accommodate the growing number of students with diverse educational needs. He believes that increased space and better support are vital for both students and teachers.

Stenberg’s concerns come amidst a broader debate on educational policies and accessibility in the Faroe Islands. He argues that as the student population in special needs classes continues to rise, so too must the infrastructure and staffing to support them effectively.

The issue has drawn attention not only from educators but also from policymakers, emphasizing the urgency of creating a more inclusive environment for all learners.

Stenberg’s comments resonate with many educators, including Jacob Eli S. Olsen, the chair of the Faroese Teachers’ Association, who also advocates for improvements in the educational system to ensure that every student receives the attention and resources they require for success.

This ongoing dialogue aims to shape a future where educational spaces are aligned with the needs of all students in the Faroe Islands, fostering an inclusive atmosphere that promotes learning and growth.
