Knut, the Norwegian teacher's union, has proposed a new levy to fund learning in public schools. The proposed levy would be based on a percentage of each family's income, and would be used to fund things like teacher salaries, school supplies, and extracurricular activities.
Knut argues that this would provide a more equitable funding model for public schools, as families who can afford to pay more would contribute more to the schools. Opponents of the proposal argue that it would be unfair to families with lower incomes, who would have to pay a larger percentage of their income towards the levy. They also argue that it is not clear how the money would be spent, and that there is no guarantee that it would actually be used to improve the quality of education. 
It is estimated that the proposed levy would raise around $700 million per year. This money would be used to fund teacher salaries, school supplies, and extracurricular activities.
