A review of international assessments, including PISA and PIRLS, reveals that Swedish classrooms face significant discipline issues, ranking among the worst in the OECD.

Data indicates that 37% of Swedish 15-year-olds frequently find their lessons noisy and disruptive.

Swedish Education Minister Lotta Edholm argues that classroom disruptions negatively impact math performance.

She stresses the need for clearer authority for teachers and greater parental responsibility.

The government is introducing measures like special education groups and crisis schools to address these issues.
