and various needs of the pupils. Equally ambitious are
the continuing education programmes based on
individualised learning. Information technology has been
placed in the foreground and the schools “computerised”
as soundly and quickly as possible.
The primary schools have participated in various
international educational programmes such as the Globe
and the Comenious. All primary school staff will in the
near future participate in the Olweus programme that is
aimed at stamping out discrimination and fostering a
beneficial collaborative atmosphere in the schools, among
pupils as well as staff.
There is special assistance available in the form of
psychological consultations, teaching assistance, general
educational advice and speech therapy.

== Pre-primary schools ==

The town has three pre-primary schools, each based on
a different educational approach: an environmental one,
the Montessori and Hjalli, a new Icelandic one. Special
assistance, counselling and training are available. A project
aimed at the behavioural modification of autistic children
is in the pipelines in collaboration with the State Diagnostic
and Counselling Centre where the teaching staff will be
trained. The islands´ fourth pre-primary school is under
construction.

== Art school ==

The music school simultaneously aims at providing a
general education in music as well as boltstering musical
life in the community. The art school also offers courses
in fine arts and drama. This greatly enriches and
strengthens the community´s cultural life. The artschool
building contains a multi-purpose exhibition hall, used
for various projects, such as art exhibitions and drama
productions. A recent impressive undertaking is a joint
Nordic island community project called “The isle of
Tranquility”.

== Educational policy ==

The Westman Islands educational policy has been under
revision for about a year. The main purpose is to find a
way to make good schools better. The municipal authority
places great emphasis on providing excellent instructional
facilities as well as well-educated staff. For this purpose
municipal staff have been encouraged and supported in
seeking professional improvements and qualifications.

== Viska (Wisdom) ==

The educational centre, Viska, offers many and various
courses of continuing education both locally and by
distance learning via the internet. To name a few courses

education and training including industrial and vocational
such as mechanics. It is of tremendous importance to the
community as most pupils from the primary and lower
