As the new school year begins in Norrköping, concerns about disruptive behavior during the initial week of high school have prompted calls for increased parental involvement.

Historically, the first week has seen incidents of rowdiness, intoxication, and inappropriate challenges among students.

To combat this, third-year students at Kunskapsgymnasiet are taking proactive steps to ensure a safe environment.

Tiama Abdulnoour, a senior student, emphasizes the importance of responsibility in preventing chaos.

Local authorities, including the police and Norrköping municipality, are urging parents to be more visible in the city during this period.

Jennie Tjulin from the Norrköping education office highlights the role parents can play in ensuring their children's safety by being present in the evenings.

New initiatives, such as designated gathering spots in central Norrköping, aim to provide safe spaces for students.

These efforts are part of a broader collaboration with the police and the Swedish Church to foster a secure and welcoming atmosphere for all students.
