The agreement will be presented on Friday afternoon and is described as part of the special agreement between the Alliance, which governs the minority, and the Social Democrats, which was signed on March 27 to specifically address the Corona crisis.
Inside the crown flag The five parties now also place an economic agreement at the school. If the school were assigned, the Alliance and S would disagree with their original budget proposals last fall.
He didn’t want to say exactly how much more money he wants to give the school on Friday morning, but according to the DN data, it’s about SEK 250 million.
In the call for information for the press, which the Alliance’s school councilor, Helene Odenjung, the leader of the group of liberals and social democrats, Jonas Attenius, invited, he writes: “The Crown pandemic has posed great challenges, both educational and financial, for school. Therefore, as part of their crisis solution, the Alliance and the Social Democrats have agreed on a support package with significant resources for the school. “

The extra charge means On an annual basis, the allocation will be about 140 million higher than the amount that the city administration office had prepared for the budget last fall was necessary to offset the overall cost increase of about three percent.
The extra money from the Alliance and the Social Democrats for the school is presented as a proposal to the local government next week. There, the Democratic Party had already proposed 300 million more, 200 for primary and 100 for preschool.
About the Alliance + S game, Democratic group leader Martin Wannholt tells DN:
– Of course, it is good that more is invested in school, but it will be too late. The cuts have already caused big problems. This money was already to be decided this fall, as we proposed in our budget.
But is money scarcity really the problem? It is often pointed out that student money in Gothenburg is relatively high.
– I see that as an attempt to explain.
For her part, Democrats’ school teacher Jessica Blixt says she hopes the money is enough to “counter the planned cuts in elementary school.”
– But also the forced movements of preschool teachers who are at risk.
An equally difficult headache Like the ruling Alliance economy and the president of the elementary school board, Helene Odenjung (L), it has been the storm that has hit student placements for the fall.
Some 1,500 children in primary school have been told that they should not attend any of the five schools they wanted when they took their now mandatory active school choices. Many have had a long time traveling to school.
Helene Odenjung said last week that the new computer system used had failed and urged all the dissatisfied to request a new trial. But at the same time, DN wrote that there was suddenly a majority on the elementary school board and council to abolish the active school option. Both the Social Democrats and the Left Party and the Democrats’ school leaders considered that the active choice of school further complicated the situation.

– I’m ready to tear down all the active school option. I think there are more people too, Viktoria Tryggvadottir Rolka, the Social Democrats, told DN.
The other day sent All three parties submit a joint request to the local authority for the active school choice to be removed. They write there: “Acute problems with school placements for the 20/21 academic year are now being addressed by the Elementary School Board. We must also ensure that the situation is not repeated for the next academic year. As the experiences in Gothenburg point to many more problems than benefits, therefore, we believe that the active school option should be discontinued. “
On Friday, the leader of the group of Swedish Democrats, Jörgen Fogelklou, said they will also support the proposal to break the school choice.
– We are behind the free school choice, but forcing all students to an active choice is what created this disaster, he tells DN.
To the city of Gothenburg should However, having an active school choice is evident from the budget decided by the council. Therefore, it is not certain that this majority will succeed with ambition. But if that happened, it would be an ideological setback for the Alliance.
On the idea of abolishing the active school option, Helene Odenjung told DN last week:
– The problem is not the active choice of the school as such. So you can think what you want about free schools and active options, and it means that many are now “going to hide their own lack of planning.”
– I don’t want to blame anyone, but if you have governed Gothenburg for 24 years, you cannot blame us for having governed for a year and a half when it is basically about the absence of schools in some districts.

A partial question that Updated during the debate on all complaints about where students received, and did not receive, school placement refers to regulations on how the municipality should prioritize. The Swedish Democrats are alone asking, once again, to eliminate the luck of the newcomers.
But indirectly, the party says Democrats do the same by suggesting that the entire priority list be redone. Their new list looks like this: 1: Students should be able to go to school in their immediate area and that there are predetermined middle and high school feeding schools, 2: Brotherhood, 3) Proximity to the school unit, 4) Business reasons or other urgent reasons.
