The Liberals want to give schools the opportunity to have half-class teaching in Swedish and mathematics for students in the lower grades.
"It will be an expensive and comprehensive reform, but investments in schools are investments in the future", writes party leader and Education Minister Johan Pehrson and party executive committee member and School Minister Lotta Edholm in a debate article in Svenska Dagbladet.
Pehrson and Edholm compare with the conditions before the 1990s school reforms, when it was normal for teachers to have half-class teaching for large parts of the school day.
This gave teachers better opportunities to follow up on each student and the work climate was calmer, write Pehrson and Edholm.
