That Sweden has religious schools contributes to segregation, The Liberals believe and propose that a stop for new establishment of new and expansion of existing schools is introduced immediately and that existing schools should be phased out by 2030.
In order to reveal if a school does not have democratic values, the School Inspection should be able to work undercover, a proposal that The Liberals presented in April this year. Authority personnel should be able to pretend to be, for example, a parent who asks questions about things such as how the school views gender-segregated activities.
When schools have their permit revoked, it usually means that the municipalities have to take responsibility for providing new educational places, often with short notice. The cost should be borne by the actors who lose the permit according to the proposal.
The Liberals also propose that the School Inspection takes over the supervision of preschools, something that is currently handled by the municipalities.
