Accuracy in referral and information for those directed to formal education

The plan's crucial commitment is that it should become easier to educate yourself after primary school regardless of wallet thickness and that study support should be raised, with massive investments in transition support and skills development. The fact that only a small part of those with short education actually begin their studies is precisely an obstacle the plan wants to remove. The plan gives the state a key role in making it possible to study on economically secure terms, which supports the demand for better information about livelihood during study time.

• education accessible to alldecisive»Det måste bli lättare att utbilda sig efter grundskolan oavsett vem du är, tjockleken på din plånbok eller var i landet du bor.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“It must become easier to educate yourself after primary school regardless of who you are, the thickness of your wallet or where in the country you live.”
• transition support and skills development»massiva satsningar på omställningsstöd, kompetensutveckling och utbildning i vad hållbar samhällsutveckling innebär« (2022 manifesto ↗)“massive investments in transition support, skills development and education in what sustainable social development means”
• secure study economy»nyckelroll i att se till att det går att både bo och studera med ekonomiskt trygga villkor.« (party programme ↗)“key role in ensuring that it is possible to both live and study on economically secure terms.”
• raised study support»Vänsterpartiet vill värna universitetens oberoende och finansiering och höja studiestödet så att fler kan välja att vidareutbilda sig.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The Left Party wants to protect universities' independence and funding and raise study support so that more can choose to further educate themselves.”

The plan gives special attention to those with short basic education in education policy and promises active labour market policy. The counter-proposal's requirement for better targeting in referrals to regular education and clearer information about support during studies follow from that commitment. The plan, however, does not take a position on whether administrative direction is already sufficient.

• support for the low-educateddecisive»Särskild uppmärksamhet ska ägnas de med kort grundutbildning.« (party programme ↗)“Special attention shall be given to those with short basic education.”
• active labour market policy»En aktiv arbetsmarknadspolitik för fler jobb är särskilt viktig i ekonomiskt oroliga tider.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Active labour market policy for more jobs is particularly important in economically uncertain times.”
• studies as path to work»Att lära sig god svenska, delta i arbetsmarknadsinsatser och studier är centralt.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Learning good Swedish, participating in labour market measures and studies is crucial.”
• education matches needs»Det ska finns en starkare koppling mellan de utbildningar som erbjuds och de behov av personal som finns i samhället.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“There must be a stronger connection between the education offered and the needs for personnel that exist in society.”

The plan's commitment is that everyone shall have the chance to education and that the labor market shall become better at matching, with special integration measures that combine education with practice. It also wants to raise student support and strengthen security during studies. Requirements for better accuracy in referrals and clearer information about livelihood during studies thus lie in the plan's direction. The committee's reference to measures already taken is not affected.

• targeted integration measuresdecisive»stärk utrikesfödda kvinnors etablering genom SFI kombinerad med praktik och yrkesutbildning och jämställda insatser från arbetsförmedlingen.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“strengthen foreign-born women's integration through Swedish for Immigrants combined with practice and vocational education and equal efforts from the employment agency.”
• better matching»Arbetsmarknaden behöver bli bättre på att matcha« (party programme ↗)“The labor market needs to become better at matching”
• better student economics»höja studiestödet och förbättra studenters a-kassa och sjukförsäkring.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“raise student support and improve students' unemployment insurance and sickness insurance.”
• education also as an adult»Därför ska alla få chansen att få slutbetyg från« (party programme ↗)“Therefore, everyone shall have the chance to get a final certificate from”

The plan's decisive commitment is that the matching between job seekers and education must become better and that support during transition and further education shall be strengthened. The counter-proposal's requirement for better accuracy in referrals to regular education and clearer information about income during studies is precisely such improved matching. The plan particularly highlights those with shorter education and vocational education for those lacking secondary school certificates, which is the same target group the matter concerns.

• improved matchingdecisive»Matchningen måste förbättras. Alla ska ha rätt till en effektiv matchningstjänst och det ska bli lättare att hitta medarbetare inom alla yrken. Utbildningssystemet behöver i betydligt större utsträckning utgå från arbetsmarknadens behov.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The matching must improve. Everyone shall have the right to an effective job placement service and it shall become easier to find co-workers in all occupations. The education system needs to a much greater extent be based on the labor market's needs.”
• better transition support»Svensk arbetsmarknad behöver både mer flexibilitet och mer trygghet. Stödet vid omställning och vidareutbildning måste bli bättre.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Swedish labor market needs both more flexibility and more security. Support during transition and further education must become better.”
• education for those with limited schooling»Från yrkesvux för den som saknar gymnasieexamen till konkurrenskraftiga universitet och forskning i världsklass. Alla som vill ska ha möjlighet att utbilda sig genom hela livet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“From vocational education for those lacking secondary school certificate to competitive universities and research in world class. Everyone who wants shall have the opportunity to study throughout their lives.”
• work line valued»Vi vill att det ska löna sig mer att gå från bidrag till arbete, och att fler med kortare utbildning och erfarenhet ska ha möjlighet att få enkla jobb.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want that it shall pay more to go from benefits to work, and that more with shorter education and experience shall have the opportunity to get simple jobs.”

The party programme commits that the individual shall always have many opportunities to learn new things, that those lacking complete education shall be able to complete it and that students need good information before study choice. Requirements for better targeting in referrals and clearer information about support during study time follow from this. The plan also wants to separate the Employment Agency's authority assignment, which meets the committee's reference to sharpened governance.

• lifelong learningdecisive»Den enskilde ska alltid ha många möjligheter att lära nytt och utvecklas.« (party programme ↗)“The individual shall always have many opportunities to learn new things and develop.”
• right to complete education»Den som saknar fullständig grundskole- eller gymnasieutbildning ska ha rätt att när som helst« (party programme ↗)“The person lacking complete primary or secondary school education shall have the right when at any time”
• good information before study choice»Elever behöver god information inför studie- och yrkesval.« (party programme ↗)“Students need good information before study and career choice.”
• separated authority role»Arbetsförmedlingens myndighetsuppdrag ska tydligt skiljas från utförarrollen.« (party programme ↗)“The Employment Agency's authority assignment shall be clearly separated from the provider role.”

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 requires that long-term unemployment is fought vigorously and that adult education is well developed so that people can start new studies throughout their lives. Directing lower-educated individuals to education without studies actually being started is precisely the waste of human resources the plan opposes. Requirements for better targeting in placements and clearer information about support during study time therefore follow from the plan.

• combat long-term unemploymentdecisive»Långtidsarbetslöshet ska bekämpas kraftfullt.« (party programme ↗)“Long-term unemployment shall be fought vigorously.”
• developed adult education»Det innebär att vuxenutbildningen ska vara väl utbyggd.« (party programme ↗)“It means that adult education shall be well developed.”
• monitoring of measures»medborgarnas intresse. Utvärdering, kostnadsuppföljning och kvalitetskontroll är därför viktiga politiska« (party programme ↗)“citizens' interest. Evaluation, cost monitoring and quality control are therefore important political”

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 is built on the person living on benefits being met by demands for full-time activity and becoming employable, and on training places being coordinated according to society's needs. If only a small proportion of the short-educated who are referred to training actually begin to study, that demand is not met in practice, and the counter-proposal's demands for better targeting and clearer information about support during study time support the plan's own objective. The formation of referrals is not addressed, hence low certainty.

• demands for full-time activitydecisive»Kräva aktivitet på heltid av den som lever på försörjningsstöd« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Demand full-time activity from those living on subsistence support”
• coordinated training planning»Få på plats en nationell samordning över samhällets behov av antalet utbildningsplatser för att förbättra kompetensförsörjningen« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Get in place a national coordination of society's need for the number of training places to improve skills provision”
• demands for employability»Genom att ställa krav på den som är ny i Sverige att göra sig anställningsbar tydliggörs att här räknar vi med att alla blir en del av samhället.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“By demanding that the person new to Sweden becomes employable, it is made clear that here we count on everyone becoming part of society.”
• make use of work capacity»Politiken ska vara inriktad på att ta vara på den arbetsförmåga som varje enskild person har och bidra till att så många som möjligt kan vara anställningsbara.« (party programme ↗)“Policy should be aimed at making use of the work capacity that each individual person has and contributing to as many as possible being employable.”

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 requires that labour market measures are adapted so that they effectively lead to real jobs and that education is provided according to labour market needs, with clear results for every public initiative. That only a small proportion of those referred actually begin studies is precisely the lack of targeting that the plan opposes, and better information about support during study time follows the same line. The plan therefore supports the demand for additional measures.

• effective labour market measuresdecisive»Sverigedemokraterna vill anpassa arbetsmarknadsåtgärderna så att de på ett effektivt sätt ska leda till riktiga jobb.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Sweden Democrats wish to adapt labour market measures so that they effectively lead to real jobs.”
• education according to labour market needs»Utbilda efter de behov som finns på arbetsmarknaden« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Educate according to the needs that exist in the labour market”
• expanded educational initiatives»Utbildningsinsatser ska utökas på alla nivåer och genom att införa lärlingsanställningar där deltagarna kombinerar praktik, arbete och studier.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Educational initiatives shall be expanded at all levels and by introducing apprenticeships where participants combine practical work, employment and studies.”
• results requirements for initiatives»Begära tydliga resultat för varje offentlig satsning« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Demand clear results for every public initiative”

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.
