Party leader Magdalena Andersson says the PISA results must be a wake-up call.
Swedish students have lost knowledge equivalent to a whole year of learning, she tells TT.
If I am given the confidence to form a government, I want to appoint a national crisis commission as soon as possible. And I want to bring together Swedish schools there.
The commission must, within six months of its appointment, submit an initial situation report and also propose any urgent measures that need to be taken.
I also want to bring together political Sweden, so I want a parliamentary reference group. This is important because school policy is managed both nationally by the government and also in the municipalities.
The crisis commission will also conduct a more in-depth analysis of how the trend can be reversed.
"You may need to look broadly there. It may be about resources or it may be about how things work in schools, but of course also how things are outside schools, such as how much time young people spend with mobile phones, for example," says Magdalena Andersson.
