A lengthy discussion argues whether existing rural training schools should be moved to the capital or relocated to East Iceland. Proposals demand four Northeast Iceland and East Iceland rural teacher colleges, with one central college to serve both regions. Advocates push for local control of bishoprics funding and for practical teaching tied to local needs. Critics warn of reduced rural access, calls to preserve local schools, and risks to landbinad education if centralization harms training quality.
