Safety and study conditions at school

The plan demands that schools receive resources for student health and social support and that schools work preventively against destructive norms, which supports the counter-proposal's national plan against bullying and the requirement for evidence-based methods rather than ineffective punishments. The plan also states that sanctions should be designed so that they actually reduce problems rather than worsen them. The requirement for strengthened powers against disruptive students, however, has weak support in the plan, which lowers confidence.

• resources for student health and supportdecisive»Det krävs satsningar inte bara på undervisning utan också på elevhälsa, specialpedagoger, fritidsverksamhet och socialt stöd.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Investments are needed not only in teaching but also in student health, special education teachers, recreational activities and social support.”
• preventive norm work»Skolor och förskolor behöver arbeta förebyggande mot destruktiva normer för att alla barn, oavsett kön, ska kunna leva fria.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Schools and preschools need to work preventively against destructive norms so that all children, regardless of gender, can live free.”
• evidence-based sanctions»utformade för att faktiskt leda till lägre brottslighet och inte förvärra« (party programme ↗)“designed to actually lead to lower crime and not worsen”
• security through functioning schools»välfungerande skolor, meningsfull fritid och full sysselsättning är« (party programme ↗)“well-functioning schools, meaningful recreational time and full employment are”

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 election manifesto wants to stop disruption in classrooms and explicitly establishes that teachers and other personnel shall immediately be able to intervene in disruption and unrest, which is exactly what the counter-proposal requires about teacher status. The party programme also requires study environments free from bullying and students' right to safe working conditions, which bears zero tolerance and the national plan against bullying.

The plan requires that bullying and harassment be actively countered in schools, that student wellbeing be strengthened and that schools have sufficient resources for the meeting between teacher and student. A national plan against bullying with zero tolerance and increased oversight where safety falls short aligns with this, as does the requirement for evidence-based measures over methods with weak research support. The plan's warning against micromanagement of teachers' work makes the support partially conditional.

• zero tolerance for bullyingdecisive»mobbning och diskriminering av elever och skolpersonal ska aktivt motarbetas« (party programme ↗)“bullying and discrimination of students and school staff shall be actively countered”
• strengthened student wellbeing»förstärka elevhälsan och satsa på fler skolsköterskor, specialpedagoger, psykologer och kuratorer i skolan.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“strengthen student wellbeing and invest in more school nurses, special educators, psychologists and counsellors in schools.”
• sufficient school resources»behöver skolan tillräckligt med resurser.« (party programme ↗)“schools need sufficient resources.”

The plan requires order in the classroom and that school be a safe place free from harassment, as well as better support and professional development for teachers and principals. It directly supports the counter-proposal's demand for zero tolerance against bullying and for a strengthened teacher role. The plan also wants to tighten oversight of schools, which responds to the demand for more inspections where safety is lacking.

• order in the classroomdecisive»Skolan ska förbättras i hela landet, med ordning i klassrummet och skolpolitiken« (2022 manifesto ↗)“School must be improved throughout the country, with order in the classroom and in 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 ↗)“School must be a safe place — free from racism, homophobia, and harassment based on gender — where children can grow and develop.”
• strengthened teachers and principals»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 professional development for teachers and principals, and proper support for all students.”
• tightened oversight of schools»och vi vill skärpa tillsynen av skolor och deras ägare« (2022 manifesto ↗)“and we want to tighten oversight of schools and their owners”

The plan explicitly requires that teachers' authorities are increased and that the law establishes the teacher's right to maintain order in the classroom, and that principals shall more easily be able to relocate pupils who seriously disrupt operations. This is exactly the counter-proposal's requirement for strengthened teacher status and opportunity to act against disruptive pupils. The plan also establishes that adults in school have responsibility to intervene against bullying and that school shall deliberately prevent harmful treatment, which carries the requirement for zero tolerance and intensified supervision.

• increased teacher authoritiesdecisive»Vi vill ge lärare ökad rätt att agera mot elever som förstör för klasskompisar och sig själv och tydliggöra i skollaget att det är läraren – inte eleverna – som ska bestämma över undervisningens upplägg.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to give teachers increased right to act against pupils who disrupt their classmates and themselves and clarify in the school law that it is the teacher – not the pupils – who shall determine the arrangement of teaching.”

The party programme explicitly requires that bullying and other abusive treatment are powerfully countered and that the school's working environment is characterised by security, order and good discipline. A national anti-bullying plan with zero tolerance, strengthened teacher authority and more inspections of unsafe schools are direct means for that commitment. The school shall according to the plan also educate pupils together with parents, which supports teachers' ability to act.

• security and order in school»Det är viktigt att skolans arbetsmiljö genomsyras av trygghet, arbetsro och god ordning.« (party programme ↗)“It is important that the school's working environment is characterised by security, order and good discipline.”

• strengthened parental responsibility»Förebygg brott genom att stärka familjerna och föräldraansvaret och göra det obligatoriskt med föräldrastöd i alla Sverige kommuner.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Prevent crime by strengthening families and parental responsibility and make parental support mandatory in all Sweden municipalities.”

The plan explicitly commits to strengthening teachers' and heads' authority to intervene in disruptive situations, to write order and study atmosphere into the Education Act's preamble and to make violence against school staff its own criminal classification. The counter-proposal's demand for zero tolerance against bullying and violence, strengthened teacher position and more inspections of schools where safety is deficient follow directly from these commitments. The plan therefore supports the demand.

• strong teacher authoritydecisive»Stärka lärares och rektorers auktoritet att kunna ingripa i stökiga situationer« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Strengthen teachers' and heads' authority to be able to intervene in disruptive situations”
• order and study atmosphere in law»Skriva in ordning och studiero i skollagens portalparagraf och införa ordningsomdömen« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Write order and study atmosphere into the Education Act's preamble and introduce conduct marks”

The plan explicitly demands zero tolerance for violence and insecurity in schools, that teachers receive increased authority and better position and that the possibility to intervene with sharp measures against students who destroy the working environment is reviewed. The counter-proposal's demands for a national anti-bullying plan, strengthened teacher position and more inspections coincide with these commitments. The plan's emphasis on proven pedagogy also aligns with the demand for evidence.

• strengthened teacher positiondecisive»Ge lärare ökade befogenheter och bättre ställning i sin yrkesroll« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Give teachers increased authority and better position in their professional role”
• zero tolerance and sharp 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 against threats and violence in schools and the possibility to intervene with sharp measures against students who create a poor working environment for others shall be reviewed.”
