Norway schools true Beliebers - exam dates changed to suit tour dates

Five schools in Norway have changed their exam dates to avoid clashing with Justin Bieber's tour dates.

The 'Never Say Never' hitmaker is due to play gigs in the country's capital city Oslo on April 16 and 17 and as a result the education establishments opted to move the assessments to discourage pupils from skipping the tests.

Kristin Halvorsen, Norway's Education Minister, said: "I am concerned that students should be concentrating when they take tests and mid-terms."

The schools are all thought to be located in the Alesund region, around 230 miles north-west of Oslo.
