SCHOOL LEADERSHIP FOR EQUITY AND LEARNING – A SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE SWEDISH MINISTRY PERSPECTIVE Sample Clauses

SCHOOL LEADERSHIP FOR EQUITY AND LEARNING – A SHORT OVERVIEW OF THE SWEDISH MINISTRY PERSPECTIVE. 7.1 The school system vouch for equality The Swedish education system has for years been an integral component of the Swedish welfare state. Sweden has nine years of free compulsory education from seven years old (grades 1 to 9). It provides a comprehensive education, with, in the main, all children following the same curricula determined by the Government. Upper secondary school, which also is free of charge, is voluntary and offer different programs, vocational programs as well as programs preparing for university studies. The school system focuses on providing equality of opportunities and equivalence of student learning outcomes irrespectively of were in the country the education is provided. There is a strong emphasis creating learning opportunities for improved knowledge for all students and by doing so also strengthen each individual student’s social and civic skills and development. Equality is a fundamental principle of the Education Act which is decided by the Swedish Parliament. According to the Education Act all children and youth shall have access to equivalent education, independently of gender, socio-economic factors, ethnic background and place of residence. Students in need of special support have also their right to adequate support. It should be mentioned that equity and learning – linked to improved student outcomes is not an easy task to solve. The variation between high- and low-performing students as well as high and low performing schools and school districts has increased over time and studies tell us that there are concerns about equity and learning linked to the quality of student outcomes1.
