Students are lured with money to choose a high school
Students are offered money to choose high school, reports Echo.
Two municipalities in Västerbotten have joined together in a high school association – if the students choose to attend one of the association’s high schools, they receive an extra grant of SEK 750 a month throughout their high school years.
Anna Backman Vikström, director of the upper secondary school in the neighboring municipality of Strömsund, criticizes the decision to attract money.
– They think that some municipalities offer computers, driver’s license training and that it is roughly the same thing. But we don’t think so. A penny in the account is something completely different, she tells Ekot.
Södra Lapland’s high school association belongs to the association that gives the grant to its students. Association head Eva Flodin says that it is important for the students to stay in the municipalities.

Hello, all you literate readers and others 🙂
Everyone knows that there are good and bad men in shoes! But who & with what right think that wolverines, loons, wolves, bears, moose etc. large carnivores and herbivores are not allowed to spread out like men in shoes? It would be best if men in shoes became food in the ditch branch & clothes without bullet holes for rag collection, i.e. used for recycling (panta more) as with many others, is there labor or are they too educated? Someone with knowledge might be able to see into the future?

Why do you have a question column when you barely answer questions you get anyway?
Or is it that only subscribers get a reply?
Claes Nilsson
Hello! We answer the questions we can answer. 🙂 A lot of what comes in is mainly opinions – which can also be accommodated sometimes, but it is difficult for us to answer such things and it is perhaps more suitable for other forums.
