The government is presenting the initiatives as part of the spring supplementary budget, which will be presented in full on Monday.

Minister of Education and Integration Simona Mohamsson (L) points out that students in socio-economically disadvantaged areas should receive extra Swedish language training during breakfast.

There we know that language is not something you bring with you from home.

Mohamsson says.

The budget allocates SEK 30 million for the fall semester 2026.

The government grant for homework help will also increase by SEK 50 million in 2026, and the grant for purchasing books will be increased by the same amount. This corresponds to approximately 250,000 new books, according to the government.
