**Positive outcome for Trondheim International School and Private Schools Nationwide! 🎉**

In a remarkable turn of events, the government has postponed its proposed funding cuts for private schools and intends to enter into a more collaborative process. Led by our Acting Head of School, Thale Herbertson, over 500 students, teachers, and parents gathered at Torvet in Trondheim for a nationwide protest against the planned reductions.

The government's initial proposal, announced on October 6, sparked a month-long mobilization from private schools across the country. Thale Herbertson, Acting Head of School at Trondheim International School, highlighted the potential impact—a loss of approximately 4.9 million in annual income, a 19-20% decrease.

Wednesday's decision marks a significant victory, acknowledging the power of collective engagement. Thale expresses relief and emphasizes the importance of continued participation in shaping future funding models for private schools.

However, concerns linger about the government's intention to eliminate "the double grant for combined schools." Thale and Christianne Bauck-Larssen (H), leader of the upbringing committee (Oppvekstkomiteen) in Trondheim, stress the need for ongoing advocacy to secure sustainable funding solutions.

This outcome demonstrates the impact of standing up for principles and the importance of continued collaboration in shaping educational policies. We celebrate this outcome for Trondheim International School and all private schools striving for fair treatment! 🏫✨
