Opposition Criticism of rating trials – Aftonbladet

Education. First came the government and the opposition agree that schools can test to give ratings fourth grade.

But now think the opposition to the government violates the agreement, by the way the trial was designed.

Alliance and the Sweden Democrats are primarily critical of the government because, they say, have not been involved and agree on how the trials with scores in fourth grade to be implemented more concretely, reports the Swedish radio news.

– we are very disappointed that the government has done this myself and in a manner which departs from the agreement we had, says Christer Nylander, liberals spokesperson on education issues, said.

At least four school units

Partly they are critical of those who are in the trial must have at least four school units to be involved, which means that smaller schools can not be with .

Partly they are critical of that when the trial will be evaluated the comparison shall be made with schools of aesthetic learning processes, such as singing and dancing, instead of the regular schools.

– It will do the trials difficult to evaluate and draw conclusions. And here we have not discussed, says Christer Nylander.

To echo says Gustav Fridolin that the two sides agreed that they should have no more than a quarter of its schools . But Christer Nylander says it mainly focused on preventing large municipalities with many schools to take up many of the experimental sites.

Want to Government changes

As for the criticism of comparison says Fridolin to echo that because the schools in question are not randomly selected – principals and teachers must themselves be eager to test – you can not get results that can be applied to the entire school system.

the alliance now wants the government is changing, and will call attention to it.

– Do they not then there is of course a majority in parliament for the grades from year four and then get well the reactivated, says Christer Nylander.
