Cover Story: From 2020, the National Curriculum in Norway has been renewed. New concepts such as ‘deep learning’ and ‘core elements’ have been introduced, and three interdisciplinary topics: ‘health and life skills’, ‘democracy and citizenship’, and ‘sustainable development’. Emphasis is placed on competence-oriented relevance and “deep learning”, not on learning of ‘facts’. This article unpacks what the reform means for studies in religion and worldviews in schools. Continuity and change are discussed along a subject-specific/general-educational policy axis and a national/international axis. Changes are connected to social changes on a supranational level, continuities mainly to national processes. We find the relevance of teaching about religion and worldviews in schools to be strengthened, with the potential for contributions to the general aims of education, such as strengthening democracy.
