The announcement comes after the Christian Democrats announced the same turnaround.
The Christian Democrats and The Moderate Party are thus the second and third governing parties to change their minds from wanting to keep F, the grade for failing, to wanting to abolish it.
The important thing is that effort should always be rewarded, even for students who may have it a bit tougher in school, says Josefin Malmqvist to SVT News.
The Liberals were the first to switch and announced in September that they want to abolish the F grade.
In February, the government's investigator is expected to present a proposal for a new ten-grade grading scale to replace the current six-grade scale (A-F).
The Sweden Democrats, the fourth party in the Tidö cooperation, want to wait for the investigation before taking a stance on the future of the F grade.
"However, it is important that a new grading system guarantees that students who are eligible for upper secondary school really have the required prior knowledge for upper secondary studies, otherwise the problems will just be moved three years ahead in time", writes SD in a comment to SVT.
