Educators Slam New Director for Switching Sides

Published: 2024-06-26

Andreas Mörck, formerly chief of staff at Sveriges Lärare, is facing criticism from educators for becoming the new director of the newly established Almega Utbildning, replacing Friskolornas Riksförbund.

Critics argue this represents a conflicting stance given his previous role.

Almega Utbildning supports for-profit schools, while Sveriges Lärare opposes them.

The debate highlights tensions between market-driven educational models and public sector values.

Meanwhile, some business leaders argue that school choice and competition improve educational outcomes.
