On Monday, the Teachers' Union presents a review of the teacher needs in the county and in the country as a whole. In Norrbotten, recruitment needs are greatest in grades 7 to 9. By the year 2023, 32 percent of teachers need to be recruited.

Teacher shortage in high school

Norrbotten County needs to recruit 230 full-time posts for elementary school year seven to nine and about 260 teacher posts in the upper secondary school through 2023. Above all, there will be a shortage of vocational teachers in the upper secondary school.

Although the need for recruitment in Norrbotten is large, it is one of the counties in Sweden that is relatively well-equipped for the coming years, according to the Teachers' Union.
