According to him, this is about the investigation having to take responsibility for the education in the municipality to be equal.

In summary, the report states that the current school structure means that children and students outside the urban area receive more expensive education than those in the urban schools, while it is doubtful whether the qualitative aspects of the education are met for children and students outside the central city.

- I have talked to guardians who are upset and I understand that this stirs up feelings about, for example, the city and country perspective, but our task is to keep this an educational issue, we will look after the best interests of all children, he says and notes. that it is a huge challenge.

Political proposal next month

Right now, a consultation is underway where everyone has the opportunity to submit their comments to the school report until March 3.

- Some have already come in and it's everything from really harsh criticism to happy calls, and I know that parent groups are working together and waiting for them to give their views next week, says Eric Lundström, unit manager at community planning in Lycksele.

At the end of March, there will be a ready political proposal on what the future school organization should look like.
