Interesting read in the Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/nov/10/swedens-schools-minister-declares-free-school-system-failure
Swedish schools minister Lotta Edholm is quoted as saying this:
"It’s not just a problem that it is a number of schools, but it becomes a system failure of everything."
It's true, and the sad thing is that it has been obvious all along. The Swedish school system has been a way for companies to make easy profits (cut school costs, increase profits) with money from taxpayers.
"A system failure of everything." Yup. For 30 years.
