In the code of conduct, it is, among other things, established that the best interests of children and pupils must always come first and that member companies must act with responsibility and transparency.
”The fact that a matter is referred to our ethics council does not mean that the companies have done anything wrong. It is precisely why the council exists, to independently examine and assess whether our guidelines are being followed. It is important both for our members and for the confidence in the entire industry that such issues are handled in a proper manner”, says Andreas Mörck, federation director for Almega Education, in a press release.
The preschool company Hagvidson's three owners have since 2020 taken out almost 65 million kronor in dividends and given themselves board fees and salaries of around ten million, according to Aftonbladet.
At the same time, they have urged employees to ensure that the children do not take too much Bregott on their sandwiches.
The children get half a cheese slice or half a thin slice of turkey on their sandwich and eat a maximum of two slices of bread, one soft and one hard per day, yet it seems to be too much, says a pedagogue to the newspaper.
Tivoli, another rapidly growing preschool company whose owners are reaping million profits, is in turn criticized for staff shortages, inadequate educational activities and insecurity in the children's groups, according to Aftonbladet's investigation.
