On Tuesday, the compulsory school board will gather to club the budget for Malmö compulsory schools. But since the proposal to lose the budget by 50 million became known, the protests have been many. And on Monday evening, parents from all over Malmö gathered to show their displeasure.

But not only parents and teachers have raised their voices since it became known that the political leadership in Malmö (S and L) wants to save 50 million in primary school. Even politicians from other parties.

- It is completely impossible for the school to save without being noticed on the teaching, says Torbjörn Tegnhammar (M), opposition council in Malmö.

He thinks instead that other administrations should have higher savings requirements. The center is of the same opinion.

- It is not within the school we should save. Instead, we want to reduce the supply support and the number of communicators in the municipality, says Joacim Ahlqvist (C), member of the elementary school board.

The school budget is bursting

Magnus Olsson (SD), opposition council, says that his party will also not pass the savings proposal from S and L. The same message gives the Left Party.

- Invest in our kids now instead of putting money on high and taking costs later, says Lisa Stolpe (V), member of the elementary school board.

Together, M, C, SD and V have seven seats on the primary school board. S and L have five. This means that the budget will not go through tomorrow at the meeting of the primary school board, regardless of how the Environment Party, with a member of the committee, will vote.

More students in Malmö

Head of Administration Anders Malmquist notes in a letter to the Board that the number of pupils aged 6-15 is expected to increase more than expected. In the coming five-year period, Malmö residents aged 6-15 are forecast to increase by approximately 800 people per year.

- I see no reason to revise our proposal. We have made a good budget, which I stand for, says Sara Wettergren (L), school council in Malmö.

The savings of 50 million represents less than one percent of the compulsory school's budget of SEK 5.3 billion.
