Ebba Westermark and her classmates in the IB program were never allowed to take the final exam at the Cathedral School this spring due to the Corona pandemic. The school recently offered those who want to take these tests for a fee later this autumn. But the students fell behind and demanded a free trial.

And so it will be now.

- The education is structured so that you normally have a final exam, students have previously been allowed to do so and those who can now do so. Then it is reasonable that the municipality prepares those who want to do the tests they need, says Helena Hedman Skoglund (L), chairman of the education committee.

Municipal cost: SEK 100,000

The municipality estimates that the cost of conducting the tests will be around SEK 100,000.

Glad for a new assessment

Ebba Westermark has moved to Gothenburg for university studies and will not take a final exam.

- I got involved in this so that everyone has a chance for a fair assessment. I know that there are many who will benefit greatly from the municipality's efforts.
