The election manifesto, which outlines L's priorities for the next term, contains 99 proposals. Most of them concern schools, but it also proposes continued tax cuts.
Overall, the proposals cost tens of billions of kronor and are to be financed through increased growth and savings in unemployment insurance and health insurance.
Among other things, the party wants to protect the professional title of teacher, raise teacher salaries and require schools that systematically employ unauthorized teachers to pay "significant penalties."
L wants to limit the distribution of profits for independent schools that hand out lunch vouchers to fast-food chains or cheat on teaching hours.
"The profit motive has no place in the world of schools," says Minister of Upper Secondary and Higher Education Lotta Edholm (L).
Beautiful schools
The party proposes that the state take over responsibility for schools from the municipalities, an old L proposal. A national school grant is to be introduced and school choice reformed.
Students who offend or threaten in high school can have their study grant withdrawn.
"It could have the effect of making them tougher," says Edholm.
The party wants to introduce two days of paid leave for parents so they can attend parent-teacher meetings or end-of-summer events.
L also picks up a much-debated proposal to build only "beautiful" schools.
"We want schools to be built and renovated so that they are beautiful, safe and offer well-functioning environments for teaching," the election manifesto states.
Continued tax reduction
In tax policy, L wants to continue to lower taxes for high-income earners. The state income tax, which is paid on incomes over 643,000 kronor per year, is to be lowered and, in the long term, halved.
Savings in ISK accounts will be tax-free up to 500,000 kronor, up from today's 300,000, according to L.
"It's a personal favorite," says Mohamsson, Minister of Education and Integration and party leader.
Taxes on income and pensions will be further reduced, as will employer contributions.
L proposes a bonus of 30,000 kronor per child to parents who share parental leave equally. Unlike the other Tidö parties, the party wants to earmark a fourth month of parental insurance.
The party also wants to see a child tax credit, an extra tax reduction on earned income of 10,000 kronor per year per child, divided between the parents.
