Social Democrats want a flat-rate 8 to 11 percent deduction on school fees for independent schools

The party also wants municipalities to be allowed to make further deductions if there are exceptional reasons.

According to the party's education policy spokesperson, Anders Ygeman, independent schools are overcompensated by today's school fees compared with municipal schools.

This is money that all independent schools receive for services that none of the independent schools perform, he says at a press conference about the proposed deduction.

Last year, an investigation proposed that municipalities would be allowed to make a six percent deduction from school fees for independent schools.

The Social Democrats also want school funding to be distributed per school, not per principal.
