In many OECD countries, tertiary education systems have experienced rapid growth over the last decade. With tertiary education increasingly seen as a fundamental pillar for economic growth, these systems must now address the pressures of a globalising economy and labour market. Within governance frameworks that encourage institutions, individually and collectively, to fulfil multiple missions, tertiary education systems must aim for the broad objectives of growth, full employment and social cohesion. In this context, the OECD launched a major review of tertiary education with the participation of 24 nations. The principal objective of the review is to assist countries in understanding how the organisation, management and delivery of tertiary education can help them achieve their economic and social goals. Iceland is one of 14 countries which opted to host a country review, in which a team of external reviewers carried out an in-depth analysis of tertiary education policies. This report includes: an overview of Iceland's tertiary education system; an account of trends and developments in tertiary education in Iceland; an analysis of the strengths and challenges in tertiary education in Iceland; and recommendations for future policy development.

The main purpose of the OECD's 'Thematic review of tertiary education' is to provide policy makers with information and analysis to assist them in formulating and implementing policies to achieve national social and economic objectives through tertiary education. Its key objectives are to: synthesise research-based evidence on the impact of tertiary education policies and disseminate this knowledge among participating countries; identify innovative and successful policy initiatives and practices; facilitate exchanges of lessons and experiences among countries; and identify future policy options. The review, which involved 24 countries (Australia, Belgium - Flemish Community, Chile, China, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Iceland, Japan, Mexico, Korea, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russian Federation, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom), 'examines how the organisation, management and delivery of tertiary education can help countries achieve their economic and social objectives'. As part of the review, each of the participating countries was asked to prepare a country background report. Fourteen of the participating countries also chose to participate in a country review in which the country background report is analysed by a team of reviewers. The reviewers then undertake an intensive case study visit of the country and prepare a 'country note' reflecting on specific issues and policies relating to the tertiary education policy of the country concerned from an international perspective. This document is the country note for Norway. Its contents are: Introduction; General background; Norway's policies for tertiary education; Regional policy considerations; Equity considerations; Monitoring the system and institutions; Teaching and learning; Research, innovation and knowledge transfer; Future policy directions and conclusions.
