KD: Screen children's learning abilities in first grade

The Christian Democrats want to introduce standardized screening of children's learning abilities as early as first grade. Investigations and diagnoses should not be required to receive support, says the party's deputy chairman, Jakob Forssmed.

The party presents several proposals focusing on children's mental health and schools.

Today, support measures come far too late, Forssmed believes. KD wants the school day to be structured more clearly, especially meals. This helps everyone, but especially those with NPF diagnoses, he says.

KD wants to see 30 minutes of daily exercise that raises the heart rate during school hours in all types of schools, without requiring a change.

Swedish children are the most sedentary in the Nordic countries, Forssmed says.

The party also wants to introduce a guarantee of a maximum one-day waiting time for student health and that social services and healthcare should be allowed to place treating personnel, such as social educators, in schools.
