Expanded record control in the education system and a new basis for separating students

Registry check

SFS's general position is that if the student will not be able to complete an education because there are crimes in their criminal record that mean they cannot undergo mandatory in-service training, or if it is virtually guaranteed that after completing the education, the student will not be able to obtain a license or employment in their profession due to their criminal record, then it may be reasonable that a prerequisite for being admitted to certain education programs should be that the applicant does not appear in the criminal record regarding certain crimes.

SFS broadly supports the proposals regarding criminal record checks prior to admission to certain higher education programs.

Separation

SFS agrees that additional measures may be needed for students with particularly reprehensible behavior that affects the education and other students, and who, despite repeated disciplinary measures, do not change their behavior.

However, SFS rejects the proposals regarding increased opportunities to separate students in higher education and vocational education, and believes, among other things, that another alternative should first be investigated.
