| 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:
