– We come from families with dreams, but not so many successes. My parents wanted an education, but could not because of the war. I got a lot of books by my parents, but I knew no one who had a university education. There was a strength in the sense that we had to have their own ideas, says Nobel laureate Edvard Moser at NTNU.
It was during a seminar at the Norwegian Embassy in Stockholm that Karin Bojs, former science editor at Swedish Dagens Nyheter, asked the question around the school system in Norway and Sweden.

The debate about PISA
The reason for her question is that Swedish children PISA results have declined in recent years. Present were several principals from Norwegian universities, including Gunnar Bovim at NTNU, and people from Norwegian and Swedish academia.
Theme for debate was how Norway and Sweden can be competitive in the global knowledge society through developing and retain more talent in Scandinavia. Both May-Britt and Edvard Moser emphasized how important it is to have skilled teachers in school.

Got ask the stupid questions
– All children are born with stars in their eyes, and they are curious. It is important that teachers do not kill this. Much can go wrong. Children may be teased, even by teachers. It is so important to allow children flourish and be driven by curiosity, says May-Britt Moser.
– I was the youngest child. I got to be myself and ask stupid questions because I was the youngest. It is so important to listen to the questions children have, and give rewards for those wondrous questions they ask, she says.
Edvard Moser believes that if one is to cultivate talents must be differinsering teaching .

Could easily have bored
– When I was a child and went to school there was no differentiation. I went to good schools, but I had to do the same as everyone else, and I missed differentiation in class. I had my own motivation, then it went okay, but it could have been boring because I was ahead of the others in many of the subjects. I believe that if one is to cultivate talents, there must be differentiation. The Norwegian school must allocate sufficient resources so that teachers can work with kids at various levels, says Edvard Moser.
But neither Edvard or May-Britt Moser wants elite schools.

Get special people into school
– We must not have special schools, but few special people into school who can motivate kids. It can be ekspempel professors from universities. Children need teachers who have stars in their eyes themselves, and treat them with respect, says May-Britt Moser.
Rector Gunnar Bovim at NTNU believes it is important to allow aspirations.
– It must be allowed to have ambitions. It is allowed in sport, but it is unorskt having intellectual ambitions. We must let the intellectual ambitions come forward, says Bovim.
