Sweden wants more children to succeed in school
Published
Sweden can improve school results without sacrificing children's well-being. That is what the new report from Norran says. According to the text, however, high expectations for both pupils and teachers are required for this to work.
Expectations are important because they affect how much pupils believe in their own ability. If the school sets clear goals and provides sufficient support, more pupils can meet the knowledge requirements. It is also important that the school takes pupils' mental health into account, so that schoolwork does not become too stressful.
The question of school results is one of the biggest debates in Sweden right now. Many parents, teachers and politicians want to know how the country's schools can get better. At the same time, there is concern that pressure and performance demands can make children tired or unhappy.
The report thus shows that it is possible to combine good study results with good health among children. But for this to succeed, a clear plan and cooperation between the school, families and society are needed.
