According to the proposal, preschool compulsory education should apply for 30 hours a week and be free of charge, just like preschool class and elementary school, reports Sveriges Radio Ekot.
We have reached the end of the road with voluntary participation, says Gulan Avci to the radio.
She will be submitting a report with the proposal to the government shortly.
Preschool lays the foundation for children's language learning and social development, says Avci, who believes that compulsory preschool education is an important marker of the role this educational form plays for children's lifelong learning.
Children's right to a good start in life takes precedence over parents' right to deny their children preschool education.
Approximately 95 percent of Sweden's three-year-olds attend preschool, according to the Swedish National Agency for Education, but the enrollment rate and attendance are lower in disadvantaged areas, says Avci to the radio.
