Background

Pilot 1 – the transition between lower secondary school and upper secondary school – is now approaching its end, and we need to decide what should happen next with the pilot.
The pilot has produced a POC with test data for a solution in which pupil data is transferred from Bergen municipality’s specialist system to the county authorities’ specialist system Vigo Skole. It has been found that a finished solution could yield large efficiency gains both for the municipalities and for the county authorities, and above all would provide better information security and privacy.

The way forward

As SAMT-BU sees it, there are 3 possible paths for further expansion and continuation of the pilot:

  • Develop the POC further into a runnable MVP
  • Expand the scope of the POC to also include transfers of results from primary and lower secondary school (grades)
  • Expand the POC to include other municipalities

All of these will provide positive knowledge and value for SAMT-BU.
However, there are certain factors indicating that it will be difficult to continue developing the solution at present. First, it will take time to define and develop the API to be built for Vigo Skole. Second, several of the other pilots starting at the beginning of May will be working on things that will affect Pilot 1 and make it easier for it to continue its work.

SAMT-BU therefore wants the technical development of Pilot 1 to be paused until the end of August. Starting up then will still make it possible to run an MVP on the transfer of data that takes place before Christmas and a POC on data transferred in the new year 2027.

In the period up to August, however, work will be done on:

Defining and ordering the development of the API for Vigo skole

  1. Verifying that the solution can also be realised in other school administration systems
  2. Clarifying the legal framework for carrying out the MVP
  3. Clarifying the connections with the other cases we are working on and the work being done within overall architecture and information modelling.
    The SAMT-BU core team is responsible for these tasks.
