Boel Vallgårda: The State Treasury becomes unnecessarily powerless



[ad_1]

The State Treasury resigns, in your response, all responsibility for not tracking the risk that government grants for an equivalent school have gone to benefit. Increased revenue is no reason to increase costs for nonprofit directors. Therefore, the risk is evident that the for-profit principal equivalency grant, according to business logic, will not benefit students, but will be used for profit. This year, the three largest groups will receive almost 250 million in matching grants: English School 103, Academedia 85 and Knowledge School 37 million crowns.

When the State Treasury was tasked with tracking the state grant in April 2019, it was conditioned on principals to demonstrate that the money, compared to the previous year, was used to increase resources for teaching and the health of students. In December 2019 the requirement will be eliminated and in July 2020 the freest use will come into force. It would be logical to adapt the evaluation to the new conditions, which the State Treasury does in part, but not in terms of monitoring the obvious. risk that the grant will be profitable.
