History of edcuation in Norway
Organized education in Norway dates as far back as medieval times. Shorty after Norway became an archdiocese in 1152, cathedral schools were constructed to educate priests in Trondheim, Oslo and Bergen.

After the reformation of Norway in 1537 (Norway entered a personal union with Denmark in 1536) the cathedral schools were turned into latin schools, and it was made obligatory for all market towns to have such a school.
