Details: The government and SD want a ten-year primary school

The hope with the proposal, which is expected to be included in the autumn budget, is to focus more clearly on early learning to read and write and mathematics, reports Ekot.

According to the information, it will be proposed in the autumn budget that the municipalities will receive 194 million to get started with the new school form in autumn 2028.

The pre-school class for six-year-olds was introduced in 1998 and was then a voluntary form of school that the municipalities were obliged to offer. Since 2018, the pre-school class has been compulsory, but its critics have pointed to uneven quality between different schools and municipalities.

The government will present the autumn budget on Thursday 19 September.
