Consultation response UHR Proposal for regulations on changes to the University and Higher Education Council's regulations (2015:3) on the university entrance examination

SFS believes that the proposed changes are more extensive than necessary. At the moment, the regulations are the only publicly available document that describes how the university examination should be conducted. The proposal to delete large parts describing the implementation means that it will be more difficult for test participants and other stakeholders to know what to expect. Transparency and legal certainty are decreasing, which the impact assessment has not taken into account. SFS sees a risk that the proposal opens up more changes in the implementation between different test occasions without such changes needing to be anchored with stakeholders. SFS proposes that only the necessary changes to the regulation be implemented and that UHR refrain from implementing the further amendments that involve a major revision.
