Recent election campaigns in Norway have seen a heated debate about education issues. With reference to an increasing number of indications of crisis in the education system, especially within teacher training, the problems are discussed as possible effects of a particular Norwegian educational populism. Comparing Norwegian education to that of the United Kingdom and the United States it is claimed that Plato's essentialism still seems to be strong and is actually increasing as an educational philosophy preferred by elites, as well as politically radical elites. Although educational populism is strongly rooted in Norwegian culture it is claimed that during the next decade populism will not survive international influences in the direction of basic knowledge orientation, organizational differentiation and privatization
