However, Vadsten's placement represents a loss from last year's third place. This year's placement is mainly due to the high proportion of students who complete high school.

- The fact that our employers invest in us teachers creates the conditions for every student to be given the opportunity to be taught by competent teachers with a good working environment. We know that a municipality with a good school where students and teachers thrive is a municipality that many want to live in, ”says Tina Kullander Palmér, chair of the Teachers' Union Vadstena, in a press release.

Outer's lower placement in the ranking is mainly due to the municipality having a low proportion of educated teachers and high number of sick leave in the teacher corps, as well as the students' (year 9) final grades and proportion with approved in all subjects.
