In theMinister of Local Government
As a result of the parliamentary election in the fall of 2013, Sanner was appointed to the position of Minister of Local Government and Modernisation. In April 2016, he didn't rule out that force could be used to merge counties who would not comply with the county merger. This reaction came after that Møre og Romsdal refused to be a part of the new regional reform. In July 2016, Sanner joined the opening of Molde International Jazz Festival/Moldejazz. In 2017, Sanner shot down the proposal "Memory Wound" by Jonas Dahlberg for aMinister of Education
After the Liberals joined the Solberg cabinet in January 2018, Sanner was appointed minister of education and research. In June 2018, he announced cuts to several school subjects, and that some elements would be cut. Notably, this included parts of history within the Norwegian and English subjects, with further elements in music, art and handcraft and religion. Despite criticism for the proposals, Sanner emphasised that both principles and teachers had long complained that there were to many subjects and that important subjects were not given enough depth. He further announced minor changes to exams and evaluations for subjects, so that they would be more closely linked to new ones. In September 2019, Sanner responded to a Si;D post made in Aftenposten by a 16-year-old asking when political absence would be allowed in lower secondary school. Sanner's response was that "it is not something me or the government has planned to introduce". He did however emphasise that he understands that many youths would participate in political causes, but that students should be at school as much as possible. He further added that these interests or activities should be done outside of school hours. In November 2019, Sanner made a last minute proposal to the new curriculums, in which schools now achieving more in depth lessons in regards to homosexuality and gender pronounces. Sanner expressed that "of course it should be included. Students should have the right knowledge about the different sexual orientations. We are going to lay the groundwork to fight against prejudice and discrimination, and promote transparancy". In January 2020, a few days before the end of his tenure as minister of education, Sanner responded to criticism from a member of the Socialist Left Youth League, of the government proposal of introducing exams to gymnastics, music, art and handcraft. Sanner stated that he hadn't introduced exams, but rather that students should excell exams within practical and esthetical subjects, and not just theoretical.Minister of Finance
