In the curriculum from 1939, there was for the first time recommendations on group size and teacher density in the primary school subjects woodworking and handicrafts. Such recommendations have long since been removed from the curriculum. The regulations that exist today are found in the Education Act and the Education Regulations and apply to all teaching. This article analyses the Ministry's recommendations and regulations for group size and teacher density for what is currently the subject of arts and crafts in the period 1939-2020. Curricula, circulars, school laws and regulations are included in the analysis, which is divided into four periods; 1) 1939-1965: National detailed control, 2) 1966-1985: Framework hours and increased local flexibility, 3) 1986-2002: Decentralization and silence, and 4) 2003-2020: Discretionary regulation and increased teacher density. The article discusses what the provisions have led to in practice, as well as possible challenges with the current legal regulation of group size.
