Kunnskapsløftet taler nå om utvikling av fellesskolen, mens en tidligere talte om enhetsskolen.
The Directorate of Education and Training's glossary gives "comprehensive school" as a translation for both fellesskole and enhetsskole, but are there actually two terms in existence in English?

: Both the terms, 'Enhetsskole' and 'fellesskole' are translated into English as comprehensive school. see R. Evjen Andersen' Norwegian-English dictionary of educational terms.
