Pilot activities with industry schools

The plan does not mention specialist schools, but it requires that it become easier to study after primary school regardless of where you live, an expansion of places in vocational and adult education, and massive investments in skills development. Continued expansion of specialist schools for small vocational areas is consistent with this. The position is therefore derived.

• accessible vocational educationdecisive»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 study after primary school regardless of who you are, the size of your wallet or where in the country you live.”
• more education places»Vänsterpartiet vill se en utökning av antalet platser inom såväl« (party programme ↗)“The Left Party wants to see an expansion of the number of places in both”
• investment in skills provision»men för att kunna hantera de nya gröna jobben behövs massiva satsningar på omställningsstöd, kompetensutveckling och utbildning i vad hållbar samhällsutveckling innebär« (2022 manifesto ↗)“but to be able to handle the new green jobs, massive investments are needed in transition support, skills development and education in what sustainable social development means”
• education across the country»Folkhögskolor och Komvux behövs i hela landet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Folk high schools and Komvux are needed across the country.”

The plan gives the state responsibility for ensuring skills supply and requires a stronger connection between the education offered and society's staffing needs. Industry schools for small vocational areas with critical societal functions serve precisely this purpose, and the plan sees vocational pathways as a way to increase chances of employment. The requirement for high quality in all education also supports the counter-proposal's requirement for evaluation.

• ensure skills supplydecisive»Säkerställ att det finns utbildad personal att anställa.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Ensure that there is trained personnel to hire.”
• education meets needs»Det ska finns en starkare koppling mellan de utbildningar som erbjuds och de behov av personal som finns i samhället.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“There shall be a stronger connection between the education offered and the staffing needs that exist in society.”
• vocational education provides jobs»Att kunna lära sig ett yrke parallellt med studier i svenska är ytterligare ett sätt att öka chansen att få jobb.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Being able to learn a trade in parallel with studies in Swedish is another way to increase the chance of getting a job.”
• quality requirements for education»Hög kvalitet är det grundläggande kravet på all utbildning.« (party programme ↗)“High quality is the fundamental requirement for all education.”

The plan does not address vocational schools, but it embraces a diversity of organizational forms in education and wants qualified training to exist in areas where the need for labour is great. The counter-proposal's requirement for continued expansion of vocational schools in small occupational areas is in line with these principles. However, the evidence is weak, so the assessment is uncertain.

• education according to labour needsdecisive»Yrkeshögskolan ska ge möjlighet till kvalificerade utbildningar inom områden där behovet av arbetskraft är stort.« (party programme ↗)“Vocational higher education shall provide access to qualified training in areas where the need for labour is great.”
• diversity of educational forms»En mångfald av olika organisationsformer och pedagogiska inriktningar i skolan är bra.« (party programme ↗)“A diversity of different organizational forms and pedagogical approaches in education is good.”
• lifelong learning»Därför ska alla få chansen att få slutbetyg från gymnasiet, även som vuxna.« (party programme ↗)“Therefore, everyone should have the chance to get a final grade from upper secondary school, even as adults.”

The plan wants to raise quality and attractiveness in vocational education, among other things through strengthened compensation for companies' costs for apprentices, and make it easier to find staff in all professions. Educational opportunities should be adapted to the labour market's needs. Trade schools for small vocational areas with decisive societal functions serve precisely that, and the plan therefore supports continued expansion with simplified rules.

• strengthened vocational educationdecisive»Gör det enklare att anställa elever i yrkesprogram som lärlingar genom att stärka ersättningen för företagens kostnader förknippade med utbildningen. Detta ökar attraktiviteten för yrkesprogram och höjer kvaliteten på yrkesutbildningen.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Make it easier to employ students in vocational programmes as apprentices by strengthening compensation for companies' costs connected to education. This increases the attractiveness of vocational programmes and raises vocational education quality.”
• education after needs»krävs bättre utbildningsmöjligheter anpassade efter den enskildes och för arbetsmarknadens förutsättningar och behov« (2022 manifesto ↗)“requires better educational opportunities adapted to the individual's and the labour market's conditions and needs”
• better matching in all professions»Matchningen måste förbättras. Alla ska ha rätt till en effektiv matchningstjänst och det ska bli lättare att hitta medarbetare inom alla yrken.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Matching must be improved. Everyone should have the right to an effective matching service and it should become easier to find staff in all professions.”
• vocational education to needs»Lärlings- och yrkesutbildningar kopplade till arbetsmarknadens behov är viktigt.« (party programme ↗)“Apprenticeship and vocational education linked to the labour market's needs is important.”

The plan wants to see supplementary vocational education in shortage occupations and an expanded vocational university, and that vocational education is closely linked to the labour market with apprenticeships where employers take major responsibility. Continued expansion of trade schools for small occupational areas with crucial societal functions follows from these commitments. However, the plan says nothing about the experimental activities specifically, so the conclusion is derived.

• vocational education in shortage occupationsdecisive»kompletterande yrkesutbildningar i bristyrken samt en utbyggd yrkeshögskola med hög kvalitet.« (party programme ↗)“supplementary vocational education in shortage occupations and an expanded vocational university with high quality.”
• labour-market-linked vocational education»Yrkesutbildningarna ska ha nära anknytning« (party programme ↗)“Vocational education shall have close links”
• apprenticeship as an option»arbetsgivarna tar ett stort ansvar ska vara ett naturligt alternativ för unga som vill lära sig ett yrke.« (party programme ↗)“employers take major responsibility shall be a natural option for young people who want to learn a trade.”

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 wants apprenticeship programmes where teaching alternates between school and workplace to exist and for a developed apprenticeship system to be expanded. Trade schools for small vocational areas are just such a vocational training form, and the plan also wants qualified practical training to be developed. Continued expansion with clarified rules therefore aligns with the plan's line.

• apprenticeship trainingdecisive»Lärlingsprogram där undervisningen växelvis bedrivs på skola och« (party programme ↗)“Apprenticeship programmes where teaching is conducted alternately at school and”
• developed apprenticeship system»Ett utvecklat lärlingssystem bör finnas« (party programme ↗)“A developed apprenticeship system should exist”
• qualified vocational training»Med kvalificerade praktiska utbildningar på exempelvis yrkeshögskola ökar förutsättningarna för detta.« (party programme ↗)“With qualified practical training at, for example, vocational university, the conditions for this increase.”
• broad educational range»Ett brett spektrum av både teoretiska och praktiska utbildningar ska erbjudas eleverna.« (party programme ↗)“A broad spectrum of both theoretical and practical training should be offered to students.”

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 states that skills supply must improve, that vocational education must have relevant and sought-after content and that shorter training programmes are urgently needed, and promises national coordination of education places. Building out sectoral schools for small occupational areas and simplifying the regulations around them align with these commitments. The plan does not mention sectoral schools, however, so the conclusion is inferred.

• relevant vocational educationdecisive»De gymnasiala yrkesutbildningarna och vuxenutbildningarna i Sverige måste få ett innehåll som är relevant och eftertraktat.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Secondary vocational education and adult education in Sweden must have content that is relevant and sought-after.”
• shorter vocational education»Det finns därför behov av att snarast införa olika kortare utbildningar.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“There is therefore a need to introduce various shorter training programmes as soon as possible.”
• strengthened skills supply»Få på plats en nationell samordning över samhällets behov av antalet utbildningsplatser för att förbättra kompetensförsörjningen« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Get in place national coordination over society's needs for the number of education places to improve skills supply”

The plan does not mention trade schools, but it wants everyone to gain the foundation for a profession in demand and for education to be conducted according to labour market needs, including through practical vocational training and apprenticeships. Expanding an activity that strengthens skills supply in small but socially vital occupational areas is in line with these commitments. The plan therefore supports the counter-proposal's demands.
