The Center Party’s leadership suffered a setback directly during the party’s general meeting in Örebro.
The assembly said no to the proposal to extend the academic year by two weeks, or to shorten the summer vacation, which was the party board’s proposal.
Instead, the party must push for a change in the school year.
Teaching time in primary school must not be extended either.
Jacob Andersson, center party from Västra Götaland, was one of the people who opposed the proposal in the debate.
– I don’t think we need to tell the students that they are so stupid that they can’t cope with the time that exists today.
The meeting also decided that grades should not be given before junior high school, a win for the Center’s youth association, among others.
