The Ministry of Education and Research announced the guide on Wednesday afternoon.
Previously, the upper secondary school and upper secondary school were managed by a general supervisor. But many have asked for a separate tutor for older students.
In the new guide, the traffic light system is maintained with levels of green, yellow and red.
CORRECT MOUTH CLOSURE: Guri Melby says older students are more likely to wear a bandage correctly.

In municipalities with high infection pressure, it is recommended that schools use bandages.
The Minister of Education, Guri Melby (V), points out that older students are better able to use masks correctly.
– Therefore, bandages outside the classroom can be considered as an additional infection control measure. For example, it can be relevant in common areas where congestion can easily occur, she says.
However, it is emphasized that the use of sanitary napkins should be voluntary. Mouthpieces must also be distributed free to students.
Not two meters away
New national regulations went into effect on Tuesday. It became clear that the one meter distance requirement will be extended to two meters.

– This does not apply to kindergartens and schools, because it should be practically possible to keep kindergartens and schools open, writes the Ministry of Education.
The guide also states that when the school is at the red level, the number of contacts students have during a week should be halved compared to the yellow level.
This means that school classes in many places will have to be divided into smaller groups, such as half classes.
“Coronary blight”
It is also recommended that schools increase staffing to help ensure better compliance with infection control in common areas and free minutes.
– We encourage schools to spend resources on so-called crown contacts, someone who can care, follow a little and help people follow the rules, Melby tells NRK.
She says they have received a lot of comments that it is difficult to make sure that all students comply with the infection rules.
The challenge is especially when students move out of classrooms, she says.
Therefore, it is proposed to have free time at different times to avoid congestion, as well as to use face masks in such situations, says Melby.
The schools themselves must consider what should happen to students who violate the rules. Melby points out that it probably needs to be enforced according to the ordinary rules of order of the school.
– Strengthens infection control
Increasing infection with mutated viruses has increased the need for up-to-date supervisors in schools, says NRK deputy health director Espen Nakstad.
– We strengthen infection control to make outbreaks and quarantine less likely for students, he says.

Nakstad emphasizes that what the mask is about in the guide is just a matter of advice and recommendations.
It is voluntary for schools to use this as an additional infection control measure.
– That is, you do not use it in the classroom and in the teaching situation, but if you are in common areas where there are many present and it may be difficult to maintain distance from the class, he says.
– Why not increase the tips from one to two meters in school and?
– The advice of two meters away is applied whenever possible in public space. And in schools, airplanes and other places where there is currently an exception to the distance requirements, there will still be an exception to that, he says.
After easter
Upper secondary schools are encouraged to limit social contact between employees as much as possible.
Digital meetings are recommended, and home offices are also recommended for tasks that do not have to be physically done at school.
Recently, infection nationwide has increased and rapidly spreading variants of the mutated virus have made infection control demanding, including in schools and kindergartens.
On Thursday, there will also be revised infection control guidelines for schools and kindergartens, the ministry says.
This new guide for upper secondary schools will go into effect on Monday, April 12. The schools thus manage to change the week after the Easter holidays.
