Assigning marks in Grade 7 can have negative effects. A new study shows that the practice can affect pupils’ academic performance and how they experience the transition to secondary school.

Norway’s current law says that grades cannot be used in assessing elementary school pupils.
This practice is enshrined in the Education Act, the law that applies to primary and secondary education. The Act states that numerical grades may first be introduced at the lower secondary level that starts with Grade 8.

However, some teachers grade pupils’ schoolwork in Grade 7, in the belief that this will make their transition to secondary school easier. A Norwegian study, in which pupils were interviewed, revealed that some teachers offered them numerical grades in Grade 7.
