The school's distribution of resources is one of the topics that was raised in Wednesday's Swedish news, a satire program that is shown on SVT. According to the program, 18 per cent of Swedish students lack sufficient reading ability, and to solve the problem, the idea of ​​giving Swedish education more time and money was introduced by removing the topic silly.

The satire program also launched a "hate campaign" under the slogan "Craft? No thanks, I'm happy ”and invited viewers to throw away their wooden butter knives to replace them with variants of plastic.

"The hate campaign is about replacing meaningless junk with teaching in Swedish," said program manager Kristoffer Appelquist in the program.

"Crafting is more important than ever"

Now, the Art College, Art College, responds to the program.

- Actually, satire is something that makes us think of another turn, but this became problematic when it landed in a campaign against the craft. Then we have to tell what this subject actually means and why it is important, says Konstfack's Rector Maria Lantz.

- We would need more resources for the craft halls so that the next generation of engineers and designers will have the opportunity to create already as young people.

According to Maria Lantz, craft is a contemporary subject that is more important than ever today.

- It's about sustainability, understanding the materials around us, how things sit together and what you can cook and not cook. I mean we educate both consumers and producers. But it is also a philosophical subject - we understand how the world is put together.

Criticized craft - got butter knives

This is not the first time the craft has been criticized. In 2016, a chronicler criticized the Expressen subject and received a considerable amount of butter knives sent to his work.

- I think the craft is something of a bullied child. There are hierarchies in knowledge where the practical subjects are a little lower standing than, for example, math or Swedish. We mean we need both and - you get better at math in the craft and you learn to formulate experiences with your hands and body using all their senses, says Maria Lantz.
