In a meeting with Times Advanced education, Inge Jan Henjesand, leader of BI Norwegian Business college, said dialog of drawing in worldwide understudies was "not existing" among policymakers, regardless of the reality there is a solid request among Norway's advanced education foundations. He said the segment thinks drawing in global understudies will enhance Norwegian colleges.

"Nations, for example, Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands have drawn up particular and focused on procedures for selecting understudies from different nations," he said. "For these nations it is very evident that such methodologies are fundamental in an information based economy. Norway is as of now a long ways behind.

"The best understudies from abroad will fortify the learning condition at Norwegian foundations, both for [themselves] and furthermore for our Norwegian understudies. Most Norwegian foundations are centered around worldwide understudies, however I don't perceive any procedure from the specialists [as] in different nations [where they believe] it's critical to pull in top universal understudies."

Two years on, Dr Henjesand stated, this "hasn't been followed up".

"They spent a great deal of cash in the nation [on advanced education, so trust that is enough]. On the off chance that they [thought worldwide understudies were a priority], they would have followed up on the note in the financial plan," he included.

As of late as a month ago, Iselin Nybø, a Liberal Gathering legislator and first bad habit seat of the standing advisory group, sent an announcement to the clergyman of instruction saying that the panel was "worried" about government thinking little of the "significance of getting gifted outside understudies into degree programs in Norway".

With a national decision coming up in September, and as "most gatherings have this matter on their policy motivation", Dr Henjesand included, he trusted government may have a change of heart.
