The announcement will be made at a press conference with Prime Minister Stefan Löfven (S), Minister of Education Anna Ekström (S) and the Swedish Public Health Agency's Director General Johan Carlson on Thursday.
- You will need to change your teaching.
As the situation is now, it is necessary, says Prime Minister Stefan Löfven at Thursday's press conference.
He also addressed a call to the country's high school students that the decision does not mean that it is an extended Christmas holiday and free to hang out with friends.
- It is ultimately about life and death, about human health, says Löfven.
To reduce the spread
Since 23 November, schools have greater opportunities to conduct distance learning, when the government and Minister of Education Anna Ekström (S) gave the green light for this to avoid congestion in schools and reduce the spread of infection in society.
Now, therefore, all upper secondary schools will introduce distance education.
However, this does not apply to upper secondary special schools and exceptions are also recommended for practical elements and for language introduction programs at upper secondary school.
- Together with the restrictions and the general advice that apply, this should be able to reduce the spread of infection so you can return to local education when the semester begins again, says Minister of Education Anna Ekström (S).
She emphasizes that it is especially important for students in upper secondary school year three to get a good education in order to get a good final grade from upper secondary school.
- You have shown that you can take responsibility.
It is needed now more than ever.
This is not free time, it is teaching that applies but at a distance, says Ekström.
Minister of Education Anna Ekström (S) will come to Corona Special tonight and answer your questions. Email to coronafraga@svt.se The program is broadcast at 20.00 on SVT2 and here on SVT news online.
