Temporary relocation and crisis schools on contract

The plan requires a total ban on profit-driven forms of welfare and that market schools be abolished, which directly addresses the counter-proposal's objection to acute care school activities being contracted out. The plan instead wants to put the money into more teachers and support for students who need it most, just as the counter-proposal does. The committee's grounds concern precisely who gets to run the activity, which the plan addresses.

• profit ban in welfaredecisive»Vänsterpartiet vill införa ett totalförbud mot alla vinstdrivande verksamhetsformer inom välfärden.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Left Party wants to introduce a total ban on all profit-driven forms of welfare activities.”
• abolish market schools»Vänsterpartiet vill avskaffa marknadsskolan med start nästa mandatperiod.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Left Party wants to abolish market schools starting next election period.”
• resources to students, not profits»Istället för pengar i fickan på de privata skolbolagen kan vi satsa på att alla barn ska få en bra utbildning.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Instead of money in the pockets of private school companies, we can invest in all children receiving a good education.”
• more teachers and early interventions»Vänsterpartiet vill se fler lärare, tidigare insatser för barn som har det kämpigt och förbättrad tillgång till lärande genom hela livet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Left Party wants to see more teachers, earlier interventions for children struggling, and improved access to learning throughout life.”

The plan wants to ban profit extraction in schools, abolish market-driven schools and ensure resources stay in operations. It also requires public control over establishments and operations in welfare. Running emergency schools on contract goes against this, and the counter-proposal's requirement that resources instead go to teachers and support is directly borne by the plan.

• banned profit extraction in schoolsdecisive»Vi vill förbjuda vinstuttagen i skolan och ta tillbaka kontrollen över var och när fristående skolor etablerar sig.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to ban profit extraction in schools and regain control over where and when independent schools establish themselves.”
• no profit in schools»Ingen vinst på skolverksamhet.« (party programme ↗)“No profit from school operations.”
• resources stay in schools»För det krävs mer resurser och att resurserna stannar i skolan genom ett stopp för marknadsskolan.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“For that, more resources are needed and resources must stay in schools through an end to market-driven schools.”
• public control in welfare»Offentlig rådighet över etableringar och verksamhet i välfärden.« (party programme ↗)“Public control over establishments and operations in welfare.”

The plan's decisive commitment is that profit-seeking in schools shall be stopped and that for-profit corporations within schools shall be abolished. The counter-proposal opposes emergency school activities run on contract and wishes resources to go to more teachers and better support instead of private profits, which is the same position. The plan furthermore wishes to strengthen student health services and support for students with large needs.

• stop profit-seeking in schoolsdecisive»sätta stopp för vinstjakten i skolan« (2022 manifesto ↗)“stop profit-seeking in schools”
• no for-profit school corporations»Miljöpartiet vill avskaffa vinstdrivande aktiebolag inom skolan och åter sätta kunskap och barns rättigheter i centrum.« (party programme ↗)“The Green Party wishes to abolish for-profit corporations within schools and restore knowledge and children's rights to the centre.”
• strengthened student health services»förstärka elevhälsan och satsa på fler skolsköterskor, specialpedagoger, psykologer och kuratorer i skolan.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“strengthen student health services and invest in more school nurses, special education teachers, psychologists and counsellors in schools.”
• responsibility for students with large needs»Skolan ska vara tillgänglig för alla, oavsett funktionsförmåga, och samhället har ett särskilt ansvar att säkerställa att elever i anpassade skolformer får goda möjligheter till egenmakt och framtid.« (party programme ↗)“Schools shall be accessible to all, regardless of functional ability, and society has a particular responsibility to ensure that students in adapted school forms have good opportunities for self-determination and future.”

The election manifesto states that free school choice should be valued, and the party programme that welfare can be provided by municipalities, businesses, cooperatives or associations with people's needs and freedom of choice at the centre. The counter-proposal's demand that crisis school activities not be run as a contract goes against that line. The plan's response to quality problems is instead high quality requirements and stricter oversight, not fewer providers.

• value free school choicedecisive»Det fria skolvalet ska värnas och små skolor och förskolor på landsbygden ges förutsättningar att fortsätta sin verksamhet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Free school choice should be valued and small schools and preschools in rural areas given conditions to continue their activities.”
• variety of providers»Oavsett om den offentligt finansierade välfärden utförs av kommuner, landsting, företag, kooperativ eller föreningar måste berörda människors behov och valfrihet stå i centrum.« (party programme ↗)“Regardless of whether publicly funded welfare is provided by municipalities, regions, businesses, cooperatives or associations, the needs and freedom of choice of those concerned must be at the centre.”
• quality requirements instead of bans»Vi vill bland annat se höga kvalitetskrav för fortsatt verksamhet och vinstutdelning, och vi vill skärpa tillsynen av skolor och deras ägare.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want, among other things, to see high quality requirements for continued operations and profit distribution, and we want to strengthen oversight of schools and their owners.”

The plan takes no explicit position on what the committee actually decided — often because the committee's reason was procedural. The stance is derived and fully cited, but it does not show the party broke a commitment.

The plan wants state school emergency units that take over schools that don't work, thus a public and not outsourced responsibility for emergency operations. It also requires that profit interest is phased out from the school system and instead invests in more special teachers and smaller teaching groups. The counter-proposal's objection against contracting out and demand that resources go to teachers and support is thus in line with the plan.

• state school emergency unitsdecisive»I ett första steg kommer vi att införa en statlig skolpeng som ger likvärdiga villkor i hela landet och ha statliga skolakuter som kan ta över de skolor som inte fungerar.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“In a first step we will introduce state school funding that provides equal conditions throughout the country and have state school emergency units that can take over schools that don't work.”
• profit interest phased out»Rätten att välja skola ska värnas och utvecklas, samtidigt som vinstintresset behöver fasas ut ur skolväsendet.« (party programme ↗)“The right to choose school shall be protected and developed, at the same time that profit interest needs to be phased out from the school system.”
• more special teachers»För att göra det möjligt skjuter vi till pengar för minst 1 000 fler speciallärare.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“To make this possible we are putting money for at least 1,000 more special teachers.”
• stop short-term profits»Vi vill se en ny friskolereform med en samlad friskolelag som sätter stopp för friskolor där kortsiktiga vinster går före elevernas kunskaper.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to see a new independent school reform with a comprehensive independent school law that stops independent schools where short-term profits come before students' knowledge.”

The plan takes no explicit position on what the committee actually decided — often because the committee's reason was procedural. The stance is derived and fully cited, but it does not show the party broke a commitment.

The plan wants individuals and organizations that run school activities to be encouraged and supported, and for private, cooperative and nonprofit alternatives to be given conditions to develop in welfare services. A counter-proposal that opposes acute school activities being run as contracted operations contradicts this. The requirement that schools be assured resources for students with special needs qualifies but targets the resource level, not the form of operation.

• diversity of school providersdecisive»Enskilda eller sammanslutningar av medborgare som bestämmer sig för att driva fristående skolor ska uppmuntras och stödjas av det offentliga.« (party programme ↗)“Individuals or associations of citizens who decide to run independent schools shall be encouraged and supported by the public.”
• private alternatives in welfare»Privata, kooperativa och ideellt drivna alternativ ska ges förutsättningar att utvecklas.« (party programme ↗)“Private, cooperative and nonprofit alternatives shall be given conditions to develop.”
• resources for special needs»Skolorna ska tillförsäkras resurser för att kunna tillmötesgå elever med särskilda behov.« (party programme ↗)“Schools shall be assured resources to be able to meet the needs of students with special needs.”

The plan is based on diversity of providers in the education system and on the principle that activities that can be done equally well or better by someone else should not be carried out by the public sector. The counter-proposal wants to ban contracting for crisis school activities and rejects private operators on principle. Instead, the plan prioritizes order and study peace and strengthened authority for teachers and principals, regardless of who operates the activities.

• diversity of providersdecisive»Det svenska utbildningssystemet ska präglas av mångfald« (party programme ↗)“The Swedish education system shall be characterized by diversity”
• private provision when it is better»Om något kan göras lika bra eller bättre av« (party programme ↗)“If something can be done equally well or better by”
• teacher authority»Stärka lärares och rektorers auktoritet att kunna ingripa i stökiga situationer« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Strengthen teachers' and principals' authority to intervene in unruly situations”
• order and study peace»Skriva in ordning och studiero i skollagens portalparagraf och införa ordningsomdömen« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Enshrine order and study peace in the education law's framework provision and introduce conduct assessments”

The plan demands that schools be made into safe havens through special placement of criminal students and that strong measures against students who disrupt the work environment shall become possible, while simultaneously allowing alternative and private operations within welfare services. The counter-proposal wants to ban contracting for acute school operations, which limits precisely that tool. The plan thus speaks against the counter-proposal's demands.

• special placement of studentsdecisive»Skolan ska göras till en fristad genom särskild placering av kriminella elever och nolltolerans mot attribut med gängassociationer.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Schools shall be made into safe havens through special placement of criminal students and zero tolerance for gang-associated symbols.”
• strong disciplinary measures»Nolltolerans ska råda mot hot och våld i skolan och möjligheten att ingripa med skarpa åtgärder mot elever som skapar en dålig arbetsmiljö för andra ska ses över.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Zero tolerance shall apply to threats and violence in schools and the possibility to intervene with strong measures against students who create a poor work environment for others shall be reviewed.”
• private operations permitted»utförandet av dessa välfärdstjänster skall alternativa och privata driftsformer vara« (party programme ↗)“for the provision of these welfare services, alternative and private operations shall be”
• study quiet before rowdy students»måste alltid vara överordnad bråkiga elevers behov.« (party programme ↗)“must always be subordinate to rowdy students' needs.”
