Stavanger Katedralskole.

Pupils seen outside the Stavanger Katedralskole.
They are aged between 16 and 19.
The school has a good reputation, and is situated just next to the Cathedral and the city park.

Exams.

It is the time of year for exams.


(Stavanger Katedralskole, next to the Cathedral.)

The city park and the little lake, Breiavatnet.

Back to school for the pupils and teachers.
I hope it is nice and warm inside.
Outside we have (plenty of) RAIN, and it is getting colder.

I passed this school on the way back home tonight.

Two teachers outside "Katedralskolen" who are on strike. There were plenty of other people doing the same many other places in the city. This is the biggest strike we have had in the last 30 years, and it is set to increase even more on Wednesday.

At the back you can read :" Education must be rewarded."

As many other places in the world, vocations such as teaching and nursing require people to be full time students for years and to finance their own education, simply to end up in jobs that are not paid well.

Not since the 1980's have we had a STRIKE as big as the one starting tomorrow morning.

17.000 members of different unions are not going to work several places in Norway.

That includes teachers, workers at kindergardens, nurses in hospitals, traffic wardens (probably not too many people who will complain about this one), librarians and some who work at swimming pools. So tonight I guess many families are discussing who will stay at home or who will bring the kids to their workplace....

This picture is from the school, the one next to the Cathedral.

Because of the strike, exams might not happen as they should have done for the Russ/those who might start at the University after the summer.....We just have to see how long the strike goes on for and what will happen....

Here is a view from the park, that shows how close The Stavanger Katedralskole (an old and popular college) is to the little chapel and to the Cathedral.

The statue is of a famous author, Arne Garborg, who died back in 1924.

The snow and ice are now melting.

And we have even had a few hours with sunshine around lunch time.

The white buildings on the other side of the lake is the college, that is situated next to our Cathedral.

Stavanger Katedralskole, is well known and also the oldest educational institution in Stavanger for young students between 16 to 19 years old.

It is situated next to the Cathedral and has the park and the lake "Breiavatnet" on the other side. As you can see, the lake is now safe to walk and cross over. Many students and other people went ice skating today.
