It is a gloomy reading for the municipalities in Sörmland when you look at the Teachers' Association's ranking.
Eight out of nine municipalities are in the lower half of the survey.
It shows, among other things, that the county's municipalities end up far down in the ranking in terms of having qualified teachers, the proportion of approved students and the level of sick leave.
Teacher qualifications play a role
The survey shows that 28 percent of the teachers in the primary school in Trosa were unqualified.
The municipality with the largest proportion of unqualified teachers was Vingåker with as much as 44 percent.
- We have a fairly low staff turnover and it takes time to build quality.
Our goal is to be among the 20 best schools in the country, says Mats Larsson.
The teachers' union's ranking also shows that 77 percent of the students in year nine in Trosa pass with a grade in all subjects.
Get complete grades in Vingåker
- It is important from a public health perspective, that we get many who succeed in their schooling, he says.
In Vingåker, only 45 percent went out with full grades.
- The lack of equality in the school and qualified teachers is a serious threat to students' knowledge development, school quality and Sweden's competitiveness, says Johanna Jaara Åstrand, in a press release.
Gnesta was the municipality in the country that ended up second at the bottom of the list.
The municipality was at the bottom in terms of having trained teachers, the proportion of approved students and high sickness absence among the teachers.
Gnesta, on the other hand, was high in terms of teacher salaries.
