Consultation response

The Swedish National Union of Students (SFS) has been offered the opportunity to submit comments on the referral of the report In goals - ways forward for more young people to reach the goals with their upper secondary education (SOU 2022:34). Several of the inquiry's proposals are good, but do not solve the fundamental problems. The fact that such a large proportion of young people do not complete a national upper secondary school program or achieve university entrance qualification must be seen as a failure for Sweden as a nation of knowledge. The primary focus of the policy must be for more people to complete upper secondary school and thus become eligible for further studies. Other solutions, for example komvux or vocational packages within introduction programs, can be necessary safety valves when the system fails so that more students will still have a chance on the labor market. However, the measures must not stop at such emergency solutions and the investigation cannot form the basis of the overall orientation of upper secondary school policy.

The Swedish National Union of Students, SFS, has been invited to submit its views on the referral of Safer in the healthcare profession - a review of certain issues in nursing and midwifery education (SOU 2022:35).
