Teachers to Get More Planning Time Amid Criticism of New Reform

Teachers should get more time for planning and follow-up. The government wants to introduce a cap on how much time teachers spend in the classroom. 2.5 billion kronor per year is being invested in what is described as a "historic success". A significant underfunding, believes the Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions (SKR) and points out that it will cost three times more to hire new teachers and that the state is micromanaging.
