European Journal | Sweden: The boom in private schooling

"Kunskapsskolan" is Sweden's largest non-governmental school organisation. The company operates 30 private schools, employing 700 teachers in charge of 10,000 students. Classes are small, and pupils are given plenty of individual attention. Teacher performance is monitored regularly and the best receive bonuses, while students negotiate their own timetable each week. The director of the "Kunskapsskolan" chain likes to compare it to IKEA. If it doesn't don't perform well, then it doesn't make a profit, he says.

If only the Teacher's Union in the US would accept vouchers, then we could have something like this Swedish model program too. Of course, hell might freeze over first.

not all students are the same - many suffer from psycho sociological issues and meeting regularly is a terrifying thought for them. this school type doesn't suit all learners, but it will suit many...judging by the results in NZed, it could do with some alternative ideas as the current system is failing the learners.

Lärarna är störda och systemet är skit.

Vad är fel med Kunskapsskolan?

But we meet each other every day... Both teachers and other pupils...
