This chapter offers a systematic review of social science research in Norway on ethnic inequalities in education, from the period 1980–2017. Three broad research traditions are identified: (1) Ethnic inequalities in educational enrolment, achievement, and attainment; (2) Immigrant families and ethnic minority communities as resources for educational careers; and (3) Curriculum, teacher instruction, and student experiences with inclusion and exclusion. Most of the research conducted in Norway focuses on describing and explaining the educational outcomes of children of immigrants from non-European countries, and is characterized by the use of quantitative research methods and access to rich population-wide registry data. Main groups studied in the qualitative traditions are typically children of immigrants from Pakistan, Vietnam, Sri-Lanka, Morocco and Turkey. This rich body of research is written in both Norwegian and English, and has developed in a context characterized by a close collaborative relationship between researchers and the government, in response to a growing concern about social cohesion within the Norwegian social-democratic welfare state.

Vi viser hvordan myndighetenes kommunikasjon utad ble formet gjennom samvirket mellom politisk lederskap, forvaltningsmyndighet og faglig kyndighet. Et sentralt mål i myndighetenes kommunikasjonsstrategi var å snakke med én stemme og sikre et enhetlig og klart budskap utad. Men balansen mellom åpenhet om usikkerhet om pandemiens videre utvikling og behovet for handling og iverksetting av tiltak, var en kilde til uenighet internt. Vår analyse indikerer likevel at nettopp differensieringen mellom de ulike myndighetsaktørene, og klarhet om rollefordelingen mellom dem også i den utadrettede kommunikasjonen, kan vaere av vesentlig betydning for en vellykket krisekommunikasjon.
