Drug tests at school must be voluntary, but in Karlskrona the municipality has informed students via its website that they may not participate in practical elements or workplace-based learning if they do not agree to random tests in cases where the tests coincide with these educational elements, reports SVT Nyheter Blekinge .

According to the Ombudsman for Justice, drug tests in schools must be voluntary, as all citizens are protected by law against forced physical interventions by the public.

– Unfortunately, it has gone wrong, says business developer Marie Gustavsson to the television station.

After the writings on the website were noticed by SVT, the municipality removed them.
