Lyssna: Government proposes reduced funds to private schools, says current pay
-
The Swedish government wants to give less money to privately-run free schools in an effort, they said, to even out the playing field financially.
-
School Minister Lina Axelsson Kihlblom said funding between publically- and privately-owned schools was divvied up unfairly since municipal schools are legally obliged to be ready to accept all students.
-
The government is proposing that municipalities can deduct funding to privately-run free schools, but the proposals first have to get through parliament.
