Students' health, etc.

The plan explicitly requires investments not only in teaching but also in student health, special education teachers and social support, because too many children are doing poorly and mental ill-health among young people is widespread. The right to equal education should apply regardless of where in the country you live. Expanded student health with more school counselors and support that reaches students throughout the country is thus exactly what the plan advocates.

The plan requires more resources to schools, particularly to the most vulnerable schools, and more cooperation between student welfare services, school, social services and police to catch children in good time. The party programme gives students the right to safe working environments. An expanded student welfare service with more school counsellors, school nurses and psychologists, and digital arrangements that reach students throughout the country, follows from these commitments. Student welfare service's sizing is not mentioned explicitly.

The plan explicitly wants to strengthen student health and invest in more school nurses, psychologists and counsellors in schools, which is the counter-proposal's main demand. It also wants to increase access to mental health care and is based on active cooperation between student health, primary care and child and adolescent psychiatry. Developing digital arrangements aligns with the plan's commitment to develop digital services in healthcare.

The plan establishes that better student health is a prerequisite for a safe school and that the high mental ill-health among children and young people requires more preventive work and simple ways into care. An expanded student health service with more school counsellors and digital ways to reach students throughout the country is precisely this commitment. The plan also requires increased cooperation between student health and primary care psychiatry.

• better support for mental ill-health»Stödet för personer med psykisk ohälsa måste förbättras, inte minst för unga.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Support for people with mental ill-health must be improved, especially for young people.”

The plan requires that student health services have competence in both physical and mental health, that mental health is taken as seriously as physical health and that disadvantaged schools get social teams that can reach young people at risk. An expanded student health service with more social workers and psychologists, also digitally, follows from these commitments and from the plan's principle that public functions shall be made digitally accessible. The plan does not specify staffing levels.

• competent student healthdecisive»Elevhälsan ska ha kompetens inom både fysisk och psykisk hälsa.« (party programme ↗)“Student health services shall have competence in both physical and mental health.”

The election manifesto requires a significantly strengthened student health service with integrated child and youth healthcare, which is exactly what the counter-proposal requests in the form of more counselors, school nurses and psychologists. The plan places special emphasis on fast and accessible expertise for children and youth with mental illness. Expanding student health digitally responds to commitments to equal access regardless of where one lives and national standards for digital healthcare information.

• significantly strengthened student health servicedecisive»Kraftigt stärkt elevhälsa med en sammanhållen barn- och ungdomshälsovård och föräldrastödsprogram som erbjuds alla föräldrar.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Significantly strengthened student health service with integrated child and youth healthcare and parent support programmes offered to all parents.”

The plan prioritizes children's mental health highly: a new statutory care guarantee for children, strengthened child and youth psychiatry and a national strategy against suicide with focus on the young. An expanded and digitally broadened student health service is a preventive link in the same chain, and the plan also emphasizes the principal's leadership for the learning environment. Student health staffing is not mentioned explicitly, so the conclusion is derived.

The plan wishes to significantly strengthen student health and points out school as an important arena for preventive measures, with strengthened counselor care and treatment expertise on site in schools. The counter-proposal's requirements for more counselors, school nurses and psychologists as well as digital expansion to reach students throughout the country are the same thing in substance. The plan explicitly links this to young people's mental health.
