The Social Democrats want to see a ban on advertising for upper secondary schools - both printed and sponsored pages on the internet.
Students have an important choice to make, therefore society must ensure that the choice can be made as well-informed as possible, without being influenced by which education provider has spent the largest share of the school funding on advertising, says Åsa Westling, the Social Democrats' education policy spokesperson at a press conference.
The Social Democrats also want all upper secondary schools, including independent ones, to participate and collaborate on the dimensioning of different programs at the regional level, to match both student cohorts and the labor market's needs.
The country's ninth-graders make their upper secondary school choice at the beginning of the spring term.
