Swedish students have lost knowledge equivalent to a whole year of learning, party leader Magdalena Andersson tells TT.

The commission must, within six months of being appointed, submit a situation report and proposals for any urgent measures.

The Social Democrats are also going to the election on a school promise, says the party's education policy spokesperson Anders Ygeman at a press conference.

We are going to the polls to abolish the market school and ban profits.
