On Friday, the Swedish National Agency for Education and Statistics presented its proposals on how important information about schools can be made public again, following a request from the government. However, the proposed solutions are criticized for being cumbersome and time consuming.
– They are complicated and time consuming, but our task has been to find long-term sustainable solutions and it is very complicated. It takes a long time, we know that very well. It’s much more complicated than those who criticize this think, says Peter Fredriksson, director general of the National Agency for Education.
“Confidentiality provision”
In the short term, the National Education Agency is analyzing whether they can, for example, collect information that they themselves can publish.
– We have access to some information, but not all. We need continuous access to information that only Statistics Sweden has, which deals with socioeconomic variables. But then a secret-breaking provision is required in the Law of Secrecy, she says.
When will we be able to access the information?
– It has taken time, it does not take two months, it does not take six months, but years to find these long-term solutions. In the short term, it depends on what the policy does and how fast it can be if they see that we can find solutions temporarily. So I hope we can have the information in the fall or spring, says Peter Fredriksson.
