College in Norway (for Harry)
I was just reading some interesting data on Norway's "free" (government paid) college availability. Turns out that although "free", only 14 percent of Norwegians who have parents who did not attend college ... go to college. 58 percent born to college educated parents go. What's interesting is that these numbers are almost *exactly* the same for Americans in a non-free college system which suggests it isn't money that inhibits people from attending college ... rather it is due to social influences. Here's where the systems are very different. In Norway " ...primary and secondary schools are funded nationally, not locally .... so there’s ostensibly no difference in education quality between higher- and lower-income towns and cities, as there might be between wealthy suburban and poor urban districts in the United States." And: " ... the Norwegian funding system is very easy to understand, while the American system of grants and loans is complex and often confusing, even to families with college-going experience." "But the principle of social equality in Norway also means that there are no programs providing academic support to first-generation or low-income students in college, although there are a few for immigrants and women in fields in which they are underrepresented." http://hechingerreport.org/in-norway-where-college-is-free-children-of-uneducated-parents-still-dont-go/ |

Actually, in real life, I am very curious, but rec.boats is a right-wing pig pen, so, why bother? Hell, there are posters in here who do not think Trump is morally repugnant, lazy, and an intellectual cipher. What's the point of a serious argument? You curiosity appears to be reading the first paragraph of the top hit on Google. If not you would not be blind sided so may times by something halfway through an article you cite. |
