The fact that a school closes to prevent the spread of infection or due to a shortage of teachers does not automatically mean that an educational debt arises.
- Fristadsskolan closed because we had a large spread of infection among the students.

But some schools have not done as well.
Lisa Edholm says that it is up to the principals together with the principals of the schools to find ways to make up for the lost study hours - to repay the education debt.
In the clip above, she talks about two possible solutions that Eskilstuna municipality is looking at more closely.
