12. GREVIO encourages the Norwegian authorities to ensure, through legislative and other measures, that pupils across Norway acquire knowledge and skills, in a compulsory manner, about the topics identified in Article 14 of the Istanbul Convention, and in particular to inform learners of the different forms of gender-based violence against women. Moreover, GREVIO invites the Norwegian authorities to monitor how teachers make use of the existing teaching materials and how they approach issues related to domestic violence and violence against women.
13. GREVIO further encourages the Norwegian authorities to increase the number of minority advisers throughout Norway and to continue to collect data on notifications to the police and social services made by teachers and minority advisers for the purpose of enhancing strategies and cooperation among services.
