Every fourth high school student does not have approved grades - more have to graduate

On Monday, the project leaders met in Västerås, with the occasion of the project aimed at more students completing their upper secondary education and graduating.

When students attend elementary school, results and attendance are followed up regularly, but when it comes to high school students, there is no compulsory schooling and the responsibility rests with the students.

- There are not so many efforts aimed at young people in high school. Everyone agrees that we need to collaborate and do something, says Katarina Bälter, professor of public health science at Mälardalen University.
