particular model of vocational information. Informa­ tion material on vocational decisions has been distributed to all senior level compulsory schools (ages 13-16) in the country, for discussion in class. 10 c in November 1977 the National Board of Education(NBE) adopted an action programme for work in schools relating to equal opportunities and sex roles. This programme lays down that work for greater sexual equality must result in the following: - Equality between men and women - Equal responsibilities for the family and society - Genuinely equal opportunities of choosing occupa­ tion in the family, in gainful employment and in public life. The measures taken by the NBE on the basis of the action programme have among other things resulted in amendments to the Education Act and the Educa­ tion Ordinance underlining the duty of local educa­ tion authorities,chief education officers and heads of schools to promote equality between men and women. In this way, work in schools for the promo­ tion of equal opportunities has been established on a firmer foundation. - 6 - The goal of equal opportunities has been clearly expressed in the new Compulsory School Curriculum (Lgr 80) which has been passed by the Riksdag and will become fully operational in the 1982/83 school year. Lgr 80 also contains several important pre­ mises of work for the promotion of equal opportuni­ ties, such as the following. - Child care and home economics are compulsory subjects at senior level and must accordingly be taken by both boys and girls. Home economics is also compulsory at intermediate level and is in­ cluded in general subjects at junior level. This is an important part of efforts to achieve shared responsibilities for home life and the family. - Technology is a compulsory science subject, which means that in future it will be taken by pupils
