New School Policies Cause Political Clash

Published: 2024-06-25

In Almedalen, SD proposes to be Sweden's new 'School Party,' pushing for harder work for students struggling with Swedish.

Party leader Jimmie Åkesson blames immigration for current school issues.

Center Party's Muharrem Demirok criticizes Åkesson, holding him accountable for teacher layoffs due to budget cuts.

Åkesson's stance is viewed as a strategy to attract voters, but lacks concrete solutions.

The debate reflects ongoing tensions over immigration and education policies in Sweden.
