Every fourth student in Sweden now has a foreign background, according to a new survey from SVT news.
Tax-funded state television SVT seems upset that there is an uneven distribution of migrant students. Schools are insufficiently mixed, they claim.
In the city of Linköping, for
example, there are several schools with over 90 percent migrant
students, while others only have around five percent.
There are “many” such examples across the country, according to the
survey. And the authorities therefore try to force multiculturalism
upon the schools.
SVT emphasizes that it is “problematic for several reasons that
students with different backgrounds meet less and less often in school”.
“We have an increased concentration of students based on social
background and migration background, and as a result we have increased
differences in school results”, says Peter Fredriksson, Director-General
of the Swedish National Agency for Education, in a comment to SVT News.
The municipalities are now doing everything possible to mix up the
schools. Which includes closing schools in ghettos, placing new schools
more centrally, merging smaller schools into larger ones, and changing
the grade classification so that students end up in the same schools
regardless of where they reside.
