Endelig! Neste uke skal vi lansere resultatene fra ROBUST.

Velkommen!

Målet var å teste et undervisningsopplegg som stimulerer elevene sine sosiale og emosjonelle ferdigheter. Hypotesen var at det kunne bidra til bedre psykisk helse og bedre skoleresultater.

I Hurdalsplattformen står det: «Fattigdom skal reduseres, særlig den som rammer barnefamilier.»

I dag melder NAV om ytterligere økning i antall sosialhjelpsmottagere som forsørger barn. Jeg deler derfor på ny Fredagskronikken i DN like før jul.

Jeg har ny Fredagskronikk i DN. Har regjeringen gitt opp målet fra Hurdalsplattformen om å redusere fattigdom som rammer barnefamilier?
