Sweden to Regulate Teachers' Teaching Hours

Published: 2024-06-29

The Swedish government has tasked an ongoing investigation to review and regulate teachers' teaching time, including pre- and post-teaching duties.

Education Minister Lotta Edholm hopes this initiative will reduce stress for teachers and make the profession more attractive.

Since 1995, the teaching hours have not been regulated, causing a surge in non-teaching tasks and stress among teachers.

The new regulation aims to improve the quality of education and the working environment for teachers.
