The coalition replaces Norway's Labour government, which resigned on Wednesday five weeks after its worst election defeat in nearly a century. Norwegians hope the new government with eight women among the 19 ministers will ease some of Europe's highest taxes on income, cars, alcohol and tobacco, while improving the services of the welfare state. The coalition's platform includes tax cuts, more privatisation, better welfare, health and education, and more spending of the vast surplus revenues Norway has as the world's second largest oil exporter. Lutheran clergyman and Christian Democrat Kjell Magne Bondevik officially took office on Friday after a meeting with King Harald V.

Although the 1814 constitution grants important executive powers to the king, these are almost always exercised by the Council of Ministers in the name of the king (King's Council). The Council of Ministers consists of a prime ministerchosen by the political parties represented in the Stortingand other ministers. The 165 members of the Storting are elected from 19 fylker (counties) for 4-year terms according to a complicated system of proportional representation. After elections, the Storting divides into two chambers, the Odelsting and the Lagting, which meet separately or jointly depending on the legislative issue under consideration. The special High Court of the Realm hears impeachment cases; the regular courts include the Supreme Court (17 permanent judges and a president), courts of appeal, city and county courts, the labor court, and conciliation councils. Judges attached to regular courts are appointed by the king in council after nomination by the Ministry of Justice. Each fylke is headed by a governor appointed by the king in council, with one governor exercising authority in both Oslo and the adjacent county of Akershus.

Under a 1993 law, gays and lesbians can enter legal partnerships with all the rights and obligations of marriage, except adoption and church weddings. Foss, a Conservative, married long-term partner Jan Erik Knarbakk in a ceremony at the Norwegian Embassy in Stockholm, Sweden. The Norwegian Finance Ministry confirmed the wedding, but said Foss was giving no interviews or comment because it was a personal matter. "Yes, we entered a partnership at the embassy in Stockholm on Friday, Jan. 4," Foss told the Norwegian business newspaper Dagens Naeringsliv. "But beyond that, it is a private matter." Knarbakk is a top manager in the Schibsted publishing concern, and the two have been described in the news media as being among Norway's most powerful couples.

97. Distance Education In Norway At the same time, public distance education in norway was virtually nonexistent. both in norway and internationally, the Norwegian government, in 1988, http://www.nettskolen.com/forskning/23/deos2-19.htm

Distance Education in Norway Article in DEOSNEWS Vol. 2 No 19, 1992 Introduction Year Accredited Schools Courses Enrolments Table 1. Development of distance education in Norway One may describe Norway as a showcase for successful distance education, but it is also a country with a higher education organisational structure that has counteracted the development of an efficient distance education system. For example, a 1977 German doctoral thesis, comparing private distance education in 16 countries, showed that Norway had the highest number of distance students per 100,000 inhabitants; 2.5 times more than second ranked Japan (Karow 1977). At the same time, public distance education in Norway was virtually non-existent. The primary reason for this unusual condition is that the Norwegian government, at least since 1945, has supported non-governmental distance education as an important means to secure equal educational opportunities. But, in public education the government has given priority to the establishment of public schools and colleges virtually all around the country. Distance Education History The Council contributed to the general perception that Norway has a high quality distance education system and to the fact that distance education is considered as an important part of the total educational system. This situation is also due to the country's vast distances and sparsely populated areas and to the predominant social ideology that supports educational opportunities for all adults. In 1975, the Parliament decided to provide financial aid to correspondence students and presently, all students enrolled in courses accredited by the Correspondence Schools Council receive substantial financial support.

european industrial relations observatory on-line Search Site Map Contact Help ... Home Country: Norway Year: 07 Jan 2003 Norway Towards closing the gender wage gap in Europe? In November 2002, the report of a European project entitledTowards a closing of the gender wage gapwas presented at a conference held in Norway. The objective of the project is to examine the gender pay gap in a broad perspective, against the backdrop of wage formation and pay systems, and to identify the most efficient tools with which to close the gap. We highlight the report's main findings. 07 Jan 2003 Norway Unemployment rises Following a long period of low unemployment in Norway, the number of people out of work started growing in late 2002, and the unemployment rate is expected to have risen from 3.6% in 2001 to 3.9% in 2002, and is predicted to hit 5% in 2004. The main reasons are low growth in the world economy and a decline in the competitiveness of Norwegian industry. The rising unemployment has contributed to renewed debate on incomes policy and interest rates. 20 Dec 2002 Norway Relationship between LO and Labour Party under debate The close relationship between the Norwegian Labour Party (DnA) and the Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions (LO) was on the agenda at DnA's national conference in November 2002. The formal ties between the two organisations are becoming increasingly controversial, and delegates at the conference stressed the need to develop less formal channels of communication and cooperation.
