Norwegian Opposition Accuses Government of Bluffing on Textbook Funding

KrF's financial policy spokesperson Jørgen Kristiansen claims the Norwegian government's pledge to boost physical textbooks is underfunded, with only about half a new textbook per student proposed in next year's state budget. The government plans 500 million kroner over two years for reading initiatives, which Kristiansen dismisses as insufficient. This is a domestic political dispute over education spending, with no immediate market impact.
