The classes are intended for students with significant learning difficulties and who disrupt the teaching.
These are students who exhibit extremely strong norm-breaking behavior that disrupts in such a way that it ruins it for both classmates and teachers, says Education Minister Lotta Edholm (L) to Ekot.
Observation classes, obs-classes, existed in the 60s and 70s, but were abolished, among other things, because they were considered stigmatizing. Edholm refers to the special classes she wants to investigate as support classes.
This is supposed to be support classes with well-educated special teachers. Not a way to push aside students who have big problems, she says.
