School leavers party for weeks on midnight buses, and Norway says it's gone too far

Norwegian school leavers' prolonged partying on midnight buses has raised concerns among parents and policymakers. The tradition of russebuss involves weeks of celebrations before the national day on May 17, impacting teenagers' well-being and academic performance. In response, Norway's Education Minister plans to shift the celebrations to the post-exam period to reduce commercialization, exclusion, and social pressures, aiming for a more inclusive and safer graduation celebration.
