DISTRIBUTION OF RESPONSIBILITY The Icelandic parliament determines basic objectives and administrative framework of the education system. Education comes under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education, Science and Culture. Local municipalities are responsible for the pre-schools and primary and lower secondary schools (function and funding). The state runs the upper secondary schools and schools at the higher education level. The education system has been moving towards decentralisation both with regard to responsibilities and decision-making. www.menntamalaraðuneyti.is

FINANCING Local municipalities pay for the construction and the operation of pre-schools and primary and lower secondary schools. Parents pay fees for their children to attend pre-schools. Compulsory education (primary and lower secondary), including textbooks and materials, is free. The operating costs of upper secondary education are funded by the state. Education at the upper secondary level is free, but students in vocational education pay materials fee. Private institutions charge tuition fees. Students at the higher education level have access to loans from the Icelandic Student Loan Fund. www.menntamalaraðuneyti.is

They are to ensure well-educated and healthy citizens, both for participating in and for changing and improving society and also for contemporary employment.
