English Definition
An institution for educating children. Sweden's school system has undergone dramatic reforms — free school choice (friskolereformen, 1992) introduced private schools competing with public ones, creating one of the world's most privatized primary school systems. However, PISA scores have declined since 2000, triggering major education policy debates. Sweden is experimenting with reducing screens in classrooms (2023 reforms) and returning to printed textbooks.
Example
“Sverige genomförde 1992 en radikal skolreform med fritt skolval och fristående skolor.”
In English: “Sweden implemented a radical school reform in 1992 with free school choice and independent schools.”
