The Alliance suggests order Ratings – Swedish Radio

The Alliance suggests order Ratings – Swedish Radio

The four parties in the Alliance agreed yesterday to support the People’s demands on schools to voluntarily introduce order grades in junior high and high school.

The requirement is written into the Alliance’s election manifesto for the elections, and it is a success for the Liberal Party leader Jan Björklund.

– We must do more to create peace and tranquility in our classrooms. You need to have both more teachers but also more responsibilities to the teachers, he says to SVT.

The Liberal Party has long pushed the proposal to order Rating voluntarily get introduced in secondary education at the schools that choose to do so. The rating in order and conduct should not be included in the final grade according to the proposal.

The two teachers’ unions have reacted with strong criticism. Among other things, they say that teachers ‘working hours are needed to teach the students, not to administer even more.

The Social Democrats’ education policy spokesperson Ibrahim Baylan sees the proposal simply as a way to attract voters, and regrets that the other three non-socialist parties now supports the Liberal Party’s proposal.

– It does not help to wait until the end of the term to indicate that someone has been messy. Teachers and principals must have opportunities and support to rectify order problems at once. This will be totally ineffective, says Ibrahim Baylan.

The Green Party spokesperson Gustav Fridolin is also critical of the Alliance’s proposal.

– The Alliance now make is some kind of electioneering that ends with man daubs in school again. One should remember that the reform of rain that the Alliance has made so far has meant that nine out of ten teachers say we must spend more time filling out paper today than before Jan Björklund was responsible for the school, said Fridolin.
