Education. Recently appointed the Union of municipalities of skåne, Vellinge, sweden, to the Best skolkommun 2016. But now, Vellinge, sweden and the other 289 municipalities to live in suspense a while. It has been shown that statistics SWEDEN delivered the wrong numbers.
Best skolkommun after 15 years, it has become a well-known ranking with the major impact. But this year, something is wrong, and it is hard to miss on the Swedish irritation.
– We are extremely disappointed and we are the first to regret that it has become so here. But it is the responsibility of statistics SWEDEN, who made a dunderblunder, ” says Ida Strutt, t f editor-in-chief of the Union of municipalities.
Municipality called
Swedish teachers ‘ Union became aware of the mistake when the SCB contacted them by email on Thursday.
– You think that you can rely on SCB, which delivers input to budgets and authorities. But SCB seems to have become aware of the mistake only when a municipality heard of and said that the numbers are not sued, ” says Ida Strutt.
Michael Schöllin, head of unit at statistics SWEDEN, statistics acknowledge and regret the mistake.
– We have been lacking in quality assurance. It is the human factor, ” he says.
What has happened is that a registry, which is the basis to calculate the proportion of högskolebehöriga 20-year-olds in each municipality, not updated with the current folkbokföringsuppgifter. The proportion of högskolebehöriga is one of 13 criteria, the Union of municipalities built their ranking on.
No other
The incorrect information shall not have been delivered to some other. The national agency for education, which is the closest to hand, have not ordered in years, according to Mikael Schöllin.
statistics SWEDEN has now delivered the correct figures to the company that the Union hired. Most likely the new figures to benefit universitetskommunerna, where many people move after high school. But how it turns on the overall ranking to Ida Strutt does not speculate in before the new list is made.
– What I do know is that it is one of 13 criteria which have wrong data. But I can’t draw any conclusions on how it affects the outcome, ” says Ida Strutt.
the FACTS
Best skolkommun
Each year the Union of municipalities of Sweden’s best skolkommuner. The ranking is based on 13 different criteria, including the percentage of qualified teachers and teacher to student ratio, student outcomes, and the proportion of 20-year-olds with a university qualification. It is the latter that has become misleading, on the basis of statistics SWEDEN’s mistakes.
