Norway, like, really likes Justin Bieber which would usually be a useless sentiment (dont we all?) except that five different Norwegian schools have rescheduled midterms so as not to conflict with the pop stars oncoming Believe tour.

Five schools have moved their midterm exams up a week to allow students to go to the concert on April 16 and 17, Norways Ministry of Education and Research announced yesterday. I am concerned that students should be concentrating when they take tests and midterms, the countrys education minister Kristin Halvorsen told the Associated Press.

Youre probably thinking, Thats galskap! But then you also probably forgot that Biebers free concert in Norways capital last year resulted in multiple injuries and general, riot-y chaos.

The Biebs, as is his wont, responded in Tweet:
