The school's premises have been renovated and a number of safety measures have been introduced, reports Sveriges Radio Ekot.

Mokhtar Bennis, high school and adult education chief in Örebro municipality, mentions, among other things, new school janitors and a support principal.

We are going from an unlocked school to a locked school. We are hiring new employees who can help us handle the new situation, he says to the radio.

Nour Afram is studying to be an student assistant at Risbergska and was at the school when the incident occurred. She does not think it will be like before, before the school shooting, but has decided to return.

It feels tough, she says to the radio.
