According to a press release on the group’s website, it is the current CFO, Lars Jonsson, who will take over as CEO. But why Anna Sörelius Nordenborg quits, or if she has got a new job, is not clear.
The announcement about the change of CEO comes three weeks after SVT was able to reveal that the IES group received state subsidies they are not entitled to, which was made possible by the fact that they submitted false information about their language teachers to the National Board of Education.
No answers as to why the switch is coming right now
SVT already emailed Anna Sörelius Nordenborg on Friday, when the press release was published, and asked why she chose to resign.
During Saturday, we sent another email to her, and to the group’s press manager. and asked if there is any connection between the CEO change and SVT’s disclosure. The press manager denies that there is such a connection.
The Swedish National Agency for Education tells SVT that they have started the investigation into the incorrect state grants, but that at the moment they cannot provide more information than that.
Nor does Engelska Skolan have any new information regarding the investigation they are conducting themselves into the incorrect information. Previously, the group had said they were submitted by mistake.
