I’ve written before (here and of course in the Gdn Tech section) about the amazing outpouring of hate that comes from users whenever you mention Lotus Notes. And here it is again.. We’ve been pretty much told that when the Guardian moves to King’s Place, as it will from September or so, that we’ll b ...
One forgets what a consumate politician Ken Livingstone is - meaning that he has that fantastic ability, when he speaks, of persuading you (just for those moments) that anyone who holds the opposite position is a complete and utter idiot. Wonderful to be reminded on Dave Hill’s blog watching the Gre ...
David Mitchell wrote the second of two terrific sports comment articles for the Guardian on Friday (could be he’s going to do more, certainly hope so). In I want a long rest from a game that never sleeps, he notes that Despite the fact that no matches are being played, football still dominates the p ...
Wow. Roger Highfield, who has been at the Daily Telegraph for 22 years, is leaving to edit New Scientist (for which I still have a lot of residual affection, having written for it during one of my years of freelancing, and worked there from 1992-95). NS is a great mag: it’s one of four that I [...]
One of the enduring tales about “what readers want” in newspapers is that they want the astrology columns - take them out and people will either complain, or silently switch to another paper - and that they do respond to the “psychic help line” adverts (otherwise, why are there so many of them in pa ...

unfortunately I can't read on norwegian, but I can say my own opinion about that problem (I think, it can be interesting for you, because in Russia the social conditions is slightly different
The human is primate and he can do any work if it is strong needed for him only. You have all what is need for good life and you haven't wishes for growing. What reasons for spending my time, health, life's energy etc., if I have all necessary for good life already?
Look at China. The social conditions in China is very bad and all people work in 24/7 mode. Also they want to learn actively, because good education will give them the best work places. Why? So, they want to live like in Norway, for example. They have a goal. But norwegians don't have this goal, because they "live like in Norway" already
There is the proverb in Russia: the artist must be hungry. But "hungry" - it's not about eating, The artist must be not satisfied spiritually. The material riches can be reached very easy. But full spiritual riches is neverending and non reachable. Now the norwegians have a good platform (material riches). For the next stage of growing, they must be "hungry" spiritually. Yes, it's ideology and you must mix the "cult of money and personal material riches" with "cult of spirit and utility for world society".
By other words, the student must want to learn not only for good personal money, the home and family in the future (what he will have in any case if we talk about Norway), but also he must want to do the world better.
Maybe it's strange opinion, but I think it have a few right reasons.

a) really bad at norwegian (I'd guess "fagorganisasjoner" is some sort of gay pride organization)
b) a total anti-expert on the subject
but this is teh intarweb, so I can cheat (http://tinyurl.com/rxe74) and publish my thought without censorship
Finland seems to be on a different track. During the hype the government increased the number of study seats for (IT) engineering and a lot of people went for it. Now that the hype has calmed there are a lot of engineers unemployed. And once you've got no experience, you'll won't get a job and then you won't get experience and so on.
For companies (psst.. Aikon) this is great because they can pick out the best talent for reasonable wages.
I read a study a while ago and now the most popular line in vocational institutes is cooking. Too bad the finnish cuisine is hardly an exportable item, IMO

the number of germans, that imigrate to norway because of the high unemployment-rate in germany, is rising slowly but constantly.
you will get a lot of "green cards" the next years.
