Andersson Calls to End Profit-Driven Schools

Published: 2024-06-26

Magdalena Andersson, the leader of the Social Democrats in Sweden, addressed the issue of market-driven schools during her speech at Almedalen.

She called for an immediate halt to the establishment of new profit-driven independent schools, labeling the current system as a 'market experiment.

' Andersson argued that the existing school system fosters segregation and inequality rather than combating them.

She emphasized the need for political intervention to regain control over the development of society, particularly in education.

Her stance is clear: the market school model should be entirely abolished.
