From the autumn of 2028, today's system will be scrapped and replaced by a new one. This means that students in need of special teaching will receive it in a smaller group with a teacher or special teacher – instead of in their own class. This applies to the subjects Swedish and mathematics.
Which students are in need of such support will be identified, among other things, through standardized tests once a year. The government assigns the National Agency for Education to develop such tests.
The change will, according to Mohamsson, give students and teachers increased calm. According to the minister, it is like the "wild west" in Swedish classrooms today.
Imagine that you have trained to teach. But instead, you have a student who needs to sit with an Ipad in a corner. Another with a stress ball in their hand and a third who needs to run out and in every fifth minute to get some exercise, she says.
The change will be included in the government's upcoming autumn budget. The principals will receive over 1.1 billion kronor annually for special teaching for, among other things, elementary school, upper secondary school, special school, and Sami school.
The previous read-write-count guarantee and the regulation on extra adaptations will be abolished, and an adapted study path may only be given as a last resort.
