Compulsory School Attendance

The plan requires early interventions for children who are struggling and a school with capacity to support each child, with pedagogy grounded in science. The counter-proposal's core – mandatory, evidence-based support interventions based on repeated assessments – responds to that. The plan, however, provides no support for the elements on year repetition, which makes the assessment uncertain.

The plan observes that the school has failed in its compensatory function and demands good conditions to fulfill it, so that every child can succeed based on their conditions. Mandatory, evidence-based support measures based on recurring assessments is one way to enshrine that responsibility in law. The plan also requires that all students be able to reach the goals of their education.

The plan wants a trust-based school where teachers and principals are given confidence and time, and explicitly criticizes that school professions are limited by detailed regulation. The counter-proposal's law-regulated, mandatory intervention ladder with intensive teaching on weekends and holidays and the possibility of repeating a school year is exactly such detailed regulation and sorting, which the plan rejects. The party instead wants to ensure support in time through a strengthened literacy guarantee.

The party programme gives all students the right to the support and time needed to leave school with adequate knowledge, and establishes that the foundation of education is knowledge acquisition rather than time spent in the classroom. Early foundational skills should be prioritized. Mandatory, evidence-based support measures based on regular assessments, with the possibility of repeating a school year, follow from this. The election manifesto also promises the right support for all students.

The plan requires regular monitoring of student knowledge, early and scientifically grounded support, mandatory holiday school when needed, and extended school days for students at risk of falling behind. The counter-proposal's requirement for mandatory, evidence-based support measures after mapping, with intensive holiday instruction, is the same policy. The plan also establishes that all students have the right to support.

• mandatory holiday schooldecisive»Dessutom vill vi kunna förlänga skoldagarna för de elever som annars riskerar att halka efter, och ha mer av obligatorisk lovskola tidigare i skolåren.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Furthermore, we want to be able to extend school days for students who would otherwise risk falling behind, and have more mandatory holiday school earlier in the school years.”

The plan requires that evaluations be made of students' knowledge so that any shortcomings can be remedied as early as possible, and that the school is responsible for the support and stimulation that matches students' needs. Basic skills such as reading, writing and arithmetic shall be prioritized, and parents shall be involved in their children's schooling. Mandatory support measures based on recurring assessments, decided by the head teacher in consultation with teachers and parents, is an application of this.

The plan commits to mandatory holiday school with attendance requirements for students falling behind, mandatory homework help and early language development screening, with the rationale that early interventions are crucial. The counter-proposal's demand for repeated screenings and mandatory, escalated support measures decided by the principal is the same line in legislative form. Compulsory school attendance as a construction is not explicitly addressed.

The plan wants to re-establish a knowledge-focused school built on proven pedagogy and prioritise a work environment that provides scope for individual support to students. The counter-proposal's demand for recurring assessments and mandatory, evidence-based support measures that escalate as needed aligns with this and with the requirement for clearer knowledge objectives. Letting the headmaster and teachers decide the measures responds to the plan's wish to strengthen the teaching profession's position.
