Pehrson told TT earlier this week that L will come up with proposals that limit profits for companies that run independent schools. He then pointed to a possible model where school companies are required to have a certain level of equity that must remain in the company – and promised that this is an issue that the party will pursue in the election campaign.
Requires new reform
It is also the point he perhaps puts the most emphasis on in his speech on Saturday.
– The independent schools are here to stay. Freedom won in that part. Now we have to move on. Fix what needs to be fixed. To ensure diversity and quality in all schools. Therefore, one of my first decisions as a leader was that we now develop our school policy further, says Pehrson.
There should be no “short-term mowers” in the school, he continues, and demands a new independent school reform.
– The students ‘and teachers’ precondition for absorbing knowledge and conveying it should be in sole focus, not the value of the shares.
Invites to call
He further says that national representatives of the teachers, principals and students have been invited for talks.
– The Liberals are changing politics. I want to take part in their perspective on how.
The Moderates and the Christian Democrats are two parties that are supposed to question the new line from L. And Pehrson admits in Saturday’s speech that it is not certain that there is full support for the proposals in a future bourgeois government.
– The newspapers will write that we are the first bourgeois party that seriously wants to do something about the overly unregulated Swedish independent school system. And by all means, that’s right, says Pehrson.
