At the turn of the year, the government amended the Education Act to allow students to have access to staffed libraries at their own schools.
But the government wants to know how the new law is being implemented and is now instructing the Swedish School Inspectorate to find out what is happening in primary and secondary schools.
Without follow-up, the reform risks becoming "a paper law," according to Anna Troberg, chairwoman of the trade union DIK, who welcomes the review.
The Swedish School Inspectorate must submit a first interim report by December 9 of this year.
