They hoped, but the problem is that municipalities are very diverse in their needs, which is actually the case, always, for every country. A one-size-fits-all policy just does not work. So, socialism tends to gravitate around cities, where there are properly indoctrinated academics, while more independence is claimed in rural areas, with cultural needs, such as Lapland in Finland, for example.

In defense of academics, however, Finland is one of the first countries to recognize that qualitative theses, with the accompanying ethics of Humanities, is a school of thought that runs counter to the 'normal' ethics applications that follow Philosophy of Science, that was developed after the 18th century, during the 19th century etc.

For sure, qualitative work has its place, especially in emerging fields, when the body of work published is scant, but most academic outfits rigidly stick to positivism and descend like rabid dogs on any kind of deviation from structured templates that steer the candidate towards conducting surveys.

Some may disagree, and claim that qualitative work is the purview of blue-hairs, however, I beg to differ.
