Safety and security

The plan's response to insecurity in school is resources and preventive work, not expanded intervention powers. The election manifesto explicitly opposes lifting repression and tougher measures as solutions instead of tackling the problems seriously. The counter-proposal demands clearer legal basis for staff intervening against pupils, which is the repressive path the plan rejects in favour of better resources for schools and social services.

• against repression as solutiondecisive»Alltför ofta lyfts repression och hårdare tag upp som lösningar istället för att ta itu med problemen på allvar.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Too often repression and tougher measures are put forward as solutions instead of tackling the problems seriously.”
• resources for schools and social services»Skola och fritidsverksamheter behöver ges bättre resurser, likaså socialtjänsten.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Schools and leisure activities need better resources, as does social services.”
• thoughtful people-perspective against crime»Vägen till ett samhälle med låg brottslighet går genom en genomtänkt« (party programme ↗)“The path to a society with low crime goes through thoughtful”
• carefully designed sanctions»Straff och andra påföljder för brott behöver vara noggrant« (party programme ↗)“Punishment and other sanctions for crime need to be carefully”

The election manifesto explicitly states that teachers and other staff should be able to immediately intervene in disruptions and unrest, which is precisely what the counter-proposal wants to give clear legal support for. The party programme elevates study peace and safety in schools as a policy goal. The plan thus directly supports clarifying staff authority in cases of order disturbances.

• staff should be able to intervenedecisive»Lärare och annan personal i skolan ska omedelbart kunna ingripa vid stök och oro.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Teachers and other school staff should be able to immediately intervene in disruptions and unrest.”
• stop to disruptions in classrooms»Stoppa stöket i klassrummen.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Stop disruptions in classrooms.”
• study peace and safety»Studiero och trygghet i skolorna.« (party programme ↗)“Study peace and safety in schools.”
• safety-creating work is prioritised»Rätt till trygg närmiljö för alla, prioritering av trygghetsskapande arbete.« (party programme ↗)“Right to a safe local environment for all, prioritisation of safety-creating work.”

The plan builds school safety on trustful relationships, strengthened student welfare and preventive work, not on expanded intervention authority for staff. It also rejects that politics details and controls the teacher's work. The counter-proposal's demand for clearer legal basis for intervention against disruptions therefore lacks grounding in the plan's commitments.

• safety through relationshipsdecisive»Skolan ska präglas av förtroendefulla relationer« (party programme ↗)“School shall be characterised by trustful relationships”
• safety through student welfare»förstärka elevhälsan och satsa på fler skolsköterskor, specialpedagoger, psykologer och kuratorer i skolan.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“strengthen student welfare and invest in more school nurses, special educators, psychologists and counsellors in schools.”
• prevention before intervention»Det brottsförebyggande arbetet är grunden för ett tryggt samhälle med låg kriminalitet.« (party programme ↗)“Crime prevention work is the foundation of a safe society with low criminality.”
• no detailed control of teachers»Politikens uppgift är inte att detaljstyra och kontrollera pedagogen i dennes arbete.« (party programme ↗)“Politics' task is not to detail and control the teacher in their work.”

The election manifesto explicitly sets order in the classroom and a safe school as goals and highlights teachers' and principals' role as decisive. The counter-proposal's requirement for clear legal support for staff intervening in disciplinary disturbances serves the same commitment and relieves the profession. The plan does not address authorization rules in detail, so the position is derived.

• order in the classroomdecisive»Skolan ska förbättras i hela landet, med ordning i klassrummet och skolpolitiken« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Schools shall be improved throughout the country, with order in the classroom and school policy”
• safe school»Skolan ska vara en trygg plats — fri från rasism, homofobi och trakasserier grundade på kön — där barn kan växa och utvecklas.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Schools shall be a safe place — free from racism, homophobia, and harassment based on gender — where children can grow and develop.”
• better support for teachers»Att förbättra skolresultaten måste vara en huvudprioritering. Det vill vi åstadkomma med bättre stöd och fortbildning för lärare och rektorer, och rätt stöd till alla elever.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Improving school results must be a main priority. We want to achieve this with better support and continuing education for teachers and principals, and appropriate support for all students.”
• teacher profession's authority»Professionella lärares kompetens och pedagogik är avgörande.« (party programme ↗)“Professional teachers' competence and pedagogy are decisive.”

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 explicitly requires increased authority for teachers and that the law establishes staff's right to maintain order. It also wants rectors to more easily be able to relocate pupils who seriously disrupt and that school staff get more tools against chaos and disorder. The counter-proposal's requirement for clear legal support for those who intervene in disruptions is exactly what the plan demands.

• increased teacher authoritydecisive»Vi vill ge lärare ökad rätt att agera mot elever som förstör för klasskompisar och sig själv« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to give teachers increased authority to act against pupils who cause trouble for classmates and themselves”
• legal support for order»lagen ska slå fast lärarens befogenheter för att upprätthålla studiero i klassrummet« (party programme ↗)“the law shall establish the teacher's authority to maintain order in the classroom”
• easier relocation of disruptive pupils»Rektorer ska enklare kunna omplacera elever som allvarligt stör verksamhet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Rectors shall more easily be able to relocate pupils who seriously disrupt operations.”
• more tools against disorder»fler verktyg för lärare och rektor att hantera stök och oordning« (2022 manifesto ↗)“more tools for teachers and rectors to handle chaos and disorder”

The party programme requires that the school's working environment is characterized by security, peace and good order, which presupposes that staff intervening against disturbances have clear legal support. The election manifesto goes further and wants to particularly criminalize profanity against officials, thus strengthening those who maintain order. The plan does not speak of the legal solution per se, but its line supports the counter-proposal's requirements.

• peace and order in schooldecisive»trygghet, arbetsro och god ordning.« (party programme ↗)“security, peace and good order.”
• protection for officials in service»Inför brottsrubriceringen missfirmelse mot tjänsteman, dvs att skrika okvädningsord till poliser, ska förbjudas.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Introduce the offence of disrespect towards a civil servant, i.e. that shouting profanities at police officers, shall be prohibited.”
• consistent rule enforcement»Alla brott ska effektivt och utan undantag beivras« (party programme ↗)“All crimes shall be effectively and without exception prosecuted”
• restored security»Tryggheten på gator och torg måste återupprättas, brottsförebyggande arbetet måste stärkas, brottslingar dömas och brottsoffer få upprättelse.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Security on streets and squares must be restored, crime prevention work must be strengthened, criminals tried and crime victims given redress.”

The plan explicitly promises to strengthen teachers' and headmasters' authority to intervene in disruptive situations, which is exactly what the counter-proposal requires: clear legal authority for staff intervening against order disruptions. The plan also wants to write order and study peace into the School Act's opening section and make violence against school staff its own criminal offense. Order and study peace are emphasized as a prerequisite for learning.

• strengthened authority to intervenedecisive»Stärka lärares och rektorers auktoritet att kunna ingripa i stökiga situationer« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Strengthen teachers' and headmasters' authority to be able to intervene in disruptive situations”
• order and study peace in law»Skriva in ordning och studiero i skollagens portalparagraf och införa ordningsomdömen« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Write order and study peace into the School Act's opening section and introduce order orders”
• protection for school staff»Införa våld mot skolpersonal som ny brottsrubricering« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Introduce violence against school staff as a new criminal offense”
• study peace as a fundamental condition»Studiero är en förutsättning för lärande.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Study peace is a prerequisite for learning.”

The plan requires that teachers be given increased powers and that the possibility of intervening with sharp measures against students who disrupt the working environment be reviewed. The counter-proposal's requirement that staff intervening in discipline disturbances have clear legal support is exactly this. The party programme also establishes that the security and peace and quiet of well-behaved students shall always take precedence over disruptive students' needs.

• sharp interventions in schooldecisive»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 prevail against threats and violence in school and the possibility of intervening with sharp measures against students who create a poor working environment for others shall be reviewed.”
• increased teacher powers»Ge lärare ökade befogenheter och bättre ställning i sin yrkesroll« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Give teachers increased powers and better position in their professional role”
• zero tolerance for violence in school»Förbättra arbetsmiljön genom att införa nolltolerans mot våld och otrygghet i skolan« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Improve the working environment by introducing zero tolerance against violence and insecurity in school”
• peace and quiet before disruption»Trygghet och studiero för skötsamma elever måste alltid vara överordnad bråkiga elevers behov.« (party programme ↗)“Security and peace and quiet for well-behaved students must always be superior to disruptive students' needs.”
