One should have been interested in hearing what we think and believe about this, but no one has talked to us, says Anna Nilsson, who is the chairperson for Sweden's Teachers in Örebro to the newspaper.

In total, it's about several hundred employees who will return to school and, in addition, thousands of students. Nilsson asks herself what risk assessments have been made?

We don't know who made this decision or what considerations lie behind when hundreds of traumatized people will return to the site of Sweden's largest mass murder.

The teaching at Campus Risbergska resumed already at the end of February, but then in other premises. The school is the center for municipal adult education in Örebro, with over 2,600 students and approximately 200 employees.

Ten people were killed in the school shooting in Örebro. The shooter Rickard Andersson then took his own life.
