Documented partial competence. A third way to a diploma in upper-secondary education in Norway

The authors are Karl J Skårbrevik and Finn Ove Båtevik. Documented partial competence refers to an alternative diploma for students who are not able to graduate from upper-secondary schools in Norway with a regular diploma. The article describes four projects initiated by the government that developed programmes for students who aimed at partial documented competence, and presents some of the conclusions from the projects. Legal as well as structural problems that represent obstacles to such programmes are identified.
