In what year was the Sami language again permitted to be used in schools?
Based on official public material
Questions and explanations are based on UDI requirements, HKdir guidance and the official samfunnskunnskap.no curriculum. Rules and facts can change, so every answer links to the official source it came from and you can check the current rule yourself.
Every answer has a link to the official source for that question. Tapping it opens the official page in a new browser tab, with the relevant passage highlighted, so you can read the rule in context instead of taking our word for it.

For permanent residence it is the social studies test (samfunnskunnskapsprøven), which you can take in a language you understand. For citizenship you must pass either the citizenship test (statsborgerprøven) or the social studies test taken in Norwegian. Our comparison guide explains which one your application needs.
