The upper secondary school 2011 (Gy 2011) was a reform which created large changes in the Swedish educational system. One of the major changes was the requirement of certification for sport Schools. Schools in Sweden have historically used sports in their marketing, this opportunity was impaired by the reform. This thesis aims to investigate how brands are applied on webpages of sport Schools that are certified in football and/or cross-country skiing. Content analysis was used as method of data collection.

In the beginning of the 1990s the responsibility for the Schools shifted from the government to the local authorities. This started an era with a freedom of choice for students where they themselves could choose which school to go to. The new system also opened up the possibility for independent private Schools to exist side by side with local authority held Schools. The overall aim of this study is to determine the factors that affect the location of these independent Schools and the geographical pattern these independent Schools create. The study in this paper is based on materials from statistics and interviews.

During the 90?s, several reforms took place in order to change the educational system. The reforms intended to increase the freedom of choice and to facilitate the start-up process for driving independent Schools. A broad alliance of political parties from left to right supported these reforms. Twenty years later, the independent Schools constitute a substantial part of Schools in Sweden.

The purpose with this study is to examine what kind of support there is for school libraries at the selected independent upper secondary Schools and how these Schools ensure that libraryservices is available to their students and their teachers. The purpose is also to examine what attitudes the administrators of the Schools have to school libraries and teaching in information seeking. A qualitative method with interviews was used to fulfil the purpose. As a theoretical basis of the study Loertschers taxonomies of the school library media program and Limbergs three levels of pedagogic research were used and the interviews were analysed with these two theoretical frameworks as a background. The result of the study showed that neither one of the three examinated Schools has a school library which means that they use the public library instead.

Students? performance in school is dependent on the indoor climate. This report studies four Schools regarding air quality and thermal environment.

Today, digital technologies (DT) can be said to play an important role in the Swedish school system. The goal of this essay was to describe DT use by school leaders, in relation to their views on Schools? goals and visions, and teachers? and students? use of DTs.

The results show that school leaders? use of DTs center on three key tasks: communication, information and administration.

Students who do not achieve the different credentials that Elementary Schools demand because of their mental disability, have the alternative to go to special school. Special school has a reduced course of studies, which correspond  to the students' different conditions and qualifications. The students who go to special school have done assessments to establish their need of extra help and support in their education. This paper want to show how the schooling of the children can be experienced from a parental point of view. Parents with children with special needs constantly have to make different choices to promote their children's development. In this study the parents of disabled children have been interviewed about their children's participation and intergration in ordinary Schools and later in special Schools.

This is a study about the relation between the Swedish school and the political system of Sweden. I wanted to see if the relation had changed since the election of 2010 as it was in that election the Sweden Democrats got over five percent of the votes and took seat in the Swedish parliament. The thing that is unique about this election is that it was really the first time a right-wing party had been elected into the Swedish parliament. Many experts argue that this is the first xenophobic party that has been elected into the Swedish parliament. This led to a problem for Schools and their principals and a difficult question to answer because xenophobia is contrary to the school?s core values and the school?s democratic mission.Should the school still be open for political parties? How do Schools manage to distinguish between political information and political propaganda? If parties still are welcome into the Schools, which parties should be allowed? The equality ombudsman has said in a report that the Schools have to comply with the principle of objectivity, which stipulates that the public sector has to be unbiased.I have chosen to make use of a qualitative method because I think the study then gets a deeper understanding of the topic.

The purpose of the work is to highlight Schools work to prevent bullying and abusive treatment, find out about Schools work to prevent bullying and abusive treatment follow what is written in the governing documents and how Schools can work preventively against the same. The questions have been investigated through qualitative interviews and analysis of documents or in the theoretical background. The interviewees and partially Schools were selected through an arbitrarily selection. In each plan against abusive treatment states that the monitoring and evaluation should be conducted in a manner that is not consistent with the responses from leisure educator 1, 2 and 3. School B's plan does not contain an overview of the measures needed to prevent and stop abusive treatment of children.

Today there are many studies that have shown positive results in the treatment of ICT at an early age. The focus of the studies vary, and they target everything from the actual implementation of teaching resources in ICT, to student performance with ICT support. Regardless of the amount of studies on the subject, there is no precise strategy for how to implement, working with ICT, integrate ICT in different subjects, utilizing the hardware and software that is or how it will eventually respond to new technologies. This work will there by focusing on trying to develop a basis for further research and hopefully in the future to develop an ICT strategy at a national level.In order to provide a basis, a comparison was made of ten different Schools. The Schools were entered into a table showing the similarities and differences .

This qualitative study is about the differences and similarities between the organization Friends and Schools? methods to prevent bullying.

This thesis examines and evaluates user boards in Swedish public Schools from a democratic perspective. In order to evaluate whether the democratic values are fulfilled five different democratic ideals are selected to serve as a theoretical fundament. These ideals derive from the Swedish Government Official Reports that preceded the reform of user boards in Schools, and are identified as the following: participation, dialogue, trust, democratic schooling and influence. The study is based on cases and involves two Schools with user boards and two comparative Schools with informal parental influence, so called school advisory boards. The study concludes that the main difference between the two types of parental influence is the level of formality.
