Level of education in Vennesla

Introduction:

This is a questionnaire answered by pupils qualifying for college or university (allmennfag) at Vennesla videregående skole in February 1999.47 boys and 48 girls participated.
We distributed the questionnaire to three freedman classes and three senior classes. These are all taking general/ economic/ mercantile/ management subjects.  The reason for this, is that these pupils all qualify for higher education after successfully finishing secondary school.

We posed these questions:
