Oslo, 9. mai 2016
Minister of EEA and EU Affairs Elisabeth Aspaker's greetings when celebrating Europe Day in Oslo.
Statsråd Elisabeth Aspakers hilsen på en mottakelse i regi av EU-delegasjonen 9. mai 2016.
– The budget shows that knowledge is one of the government's major priorities.
– Budsjettet viser at kunnskap er et av regjeringens store satsingsområder.
We shall realize the knowledge society by investing in research and higher education, quality in day-care and more continuing education for teachers, says Minister of Education and Research Torbjørn Røe Isaksen.
Vi skal realisere kunnskapssamfunnet, og satser derfor på forskning og høyere utdanning, kvalitet i barnehagen og mer til videreutdanning for lærere, sier kunnskapsminister Torbjørn Røe Isaksen.
That means that, during its first year, the government has tripled investment in teacher training.
Det betyr at regjeringen i løpet av sitt første år har tredoblet satsingen på videreutdanning av lærere.
– This investment is requested by teachers and it will also provide a better school for pupils.
– Dette er noe lærerne ønsker og som vil gi en bedre skole for elevene.
We are now giving even more teachers the opportunity to further educate themselves, says the Minister.
Nå gir vi enda flere mulighet til å videreutdanne seg, sier kunnskapsministeren.
5.050 teachers could be offered continuing education starting in the autumn of 2015.
Fra høsten 2015 vil 5 050 lærere kunne få tilbud om videreutdanning.
They are proposing to allocate a total of NOK 275 million to promoting quality in the preschool sector.
Totalt foreslås det å bevilge 275 millioner kroner for å fremme kvalitet i barnehagesektoren.
– We wish that more preschool teachers shall have educational training.
– Vi ønsker at enda flere av dem som jobber i barnehagen skal ha barnefaglig utdannelse.
It will increase the quality of what we offer the children, and high-quality day-care lays the foundation for the knowledge society, says Røe Isaksen.
Det vil øke kvaliteten på det tilbudet barna får, og gode barnehager legger grunnlaget for kunnskapssamfunnet, sier Røe Isaksen.
At the same time, day-care will become cheaper for low-income families.
Samtidig blir barnehagen billigere for familier med lav inntekt.
All families with a total income below NOK 405 000 million will be eligible for reduced payments for the first child in day-care.
Alle familier med en samlet inntekt under 405 000 kroner vil ha rett til redusert foreldrebetaling for det første barnet i barnehagen.
The system of price reductions will be continued for the rest of the siblings.
Ordningen med søskenmoderasjon videreføres for resten av søskenflokken.
The reform will be financed by increasing the maximum price by NOK one hundred per month.
Reformen skal finansieres ved å øke maksimalprisen med hundre kroner per måned.
The real maximum price will still be lower in than in 2011.
Maksimalprisen vil likevel reelt sett være lavere enn i 2011.
The Government is also presenting the first long-term plan for research and higher education, and proposes to use NOK 2.1 billion on research and development.
Regjeringen legger også frem den første langtidsplanen for forskning og høyere utdanning, og foreslår å bruke 2,1 milliarder mer på forskning og utvikling.
The plan includes a historic investment.
Planen innebærer en historisk satsing.
The government will spend one percent of GDP on research and development (R&D), and proposes that the target can be reached in the period 2019-2020.
Regjeringen vil bruke én prosent av bruttonasjonalproduktet på forskning og utvikling (FoU), og tar sikte på at målet kan nås i perioden 2019-2020.
– In the long-term plan we are mapping out the course in order to secure jobs and prosperity in the future.
– I langtidsplanen staker vi ut kursen for å sikre arbeidsplasser og velferd i fremtiden.
In order to succeed, we are completely dependent on research and education of excellent quality, says Minister Thorbjørn Røe Isaksen.
Skal vi lykkes med det, er vi helt avhengige av forskning og utdanning av fremragende kvalitet, sier kunnskapsminister Torbjørn Røe Isaksen.
In the 2015 budget, the government is following up on the long-term plan with over 660 million NOK.
I budsjettet for 2015 følger regjeringen opp langtidsplanen med over 660 millioner kroner.
Among the main measures is NOK 100 million as a priority for world leading academic environments, NOK 100 million for research infrastructure, NOK 60 million for independent project funding and NOK 115 million in order to stimulate increased Norwegian participation in Horizon 2020.
Blant de største tiltakene er 100 millioner kroner til en satsing på verdensledende fagmiljøer, 100 millioner kroner til forskningsinfrastruktur, 60 millioner kroner til fri prosjektstøtte og 115 millioner kroner for å stimulere til økt norsk deltakelse i Horisont 2020.
That is 200 more than in 2014.
Det er 200 flere enn i 2014.
The Government also intends to reduce the financial risk and increase freedom of choice for Norwegian students abroad by value adjusting both grants and loans for school fees.
Samtidig ønsker regjeringen å redusere den økonomiske risikoen og øke valgfriheten for norske studenter i utlandet ved å valutajustere både stipend og lån til skolepenger.
In addition, the Government proposes to make it possible to combine the sickness benefits from the Norwegian National Insurance Scheme with sickness grants from the Norwegian State Educational Loan Fund.
I tillegg foreslår regjeringen å gjøre det mulig å kombinere sykepenger fra folketrygden med sykestipend fra Lånekassen.
The Government also proposes to allocate NOK 30 million beyond the expected inflation to increase the basic grant for students, i.e. the total sum most students get paid.
Regjeringen foreslår dessuten å bevilge 30 millioner kroner utover forventet prisvekst til å øke basisstøtten for studenter, altså den samlede summen studenter flest får utbetalt.
As of 2015, the basic grant for each student will be NOK 100.920 per academic year.
Basisstøtten vil fra neste år være på 100 920 kroner per studieår.
Investing in basic skills The Government proposes to allocate NOK 169 million to two schemes with the aim of strengthening basic skills among adults.
Regjeringen foreslår å bevilge 169 millioner kroner til to ordninger som skal styrke grunnleggende ferdigheter hos voksne.
The Government wishes to strengthen the BKA-scheme (Basic competence in working life) and extend the scheme by NOK 15 million.
Regjeringen vil styrke BKA (Basiskompetanse i arbeidslivet) og utvider ordningen med 15 millioner kroner.
Last year, the government introduced an opportunity for training in oral skills for employees with poor oral skills in Norwegian.
Regjeringen innførte i fjor en mulighet for opplæring i norsk muntlig for arbeidstakere med svake norskferdigheter.
The Government’s proposal means that a total of NOK 40 million is being allocated for this purpose in 2015 within the budget frame of the BKA-scheme.
Regjeringens forslag innebærer at det til sammen settes av 40 millioner kroner til dette formålet i 2015 innenfor rammen av BKA.
In addition, the BKA-scheme is being supplemented by a new scheme called Basic competence in the voluntary sector (BKF).
Dessuten suppleres BKA med Basiskompetanse i frivilligheten (BKF).
Education provides opportunities for all
Kunnskap gir muligheter for alle
The government prioritises continuing education for teachers, raising quality in day-care institutions and more funding for research and higher education in the national budget for 2015.
I statsbudsjettet for 2015 prioriterer regjeringen videreutdanning for lærere, et kvalitetsløft i barnehagen og mer penger til forskning og høyere utdanning.

NATO is undergoing very interesting change and we will hear more about it from the Secretary General, but just as a teaser I want to say that, one of the key discussion that we are having in NATO these days is; what will be NATO’s main focus when it is not any longer Afghanistan or even more broadly speaking, when it is not any longer necessary operations.

To draw the long picture of NATO’s history: For the first 40 years NATO was a key element in maintaining stability in the cold war, because a few years after the Second World War we came into a cold war setting and the NATO was a cornerstone in our security.

We learned from those many years a lesson, which remains valid for many countries, which is that by joining an alliance, by taking an alliance membership seriously, by taking defense seriously, by linking our defense to our alliance, we were able to provide a certainty, a clarity, a predictability that solved many questions about who we were, where we belonged, what our security outlook was, which was good for us, it was good for our alliance but also good for everybody else who may be wondering about that.

And again, I would commend the Secretary General for having come up with a series of very innovative and good approaches to how to try to deal with that by doing more together, rather than more on our own, by pooling, by thinking smarter about the defense and security.
