Flexible distribution of periods and subjects

•  The distribution of periods and subjects is a recommendation. This means that the school owner may place subjects at another level than that shown in the structure in the ordinary distribution of periods and subjects. 
  
• When subjects are moved between levels, emphasis must be on the progress in the subject. This entails that subjects that build on each other must be taken in the order decided in the subject curriculum.
  
• Only entire subjects can be moved between levels.
  
• If the school owner plans an alternative distribution of periods and subjects, the pupils must have the same composition of periods and subjects and examinations during three years of education as pupils with the ordinary distribution of periods and subjects.
