- The schools do not have to apply for this money, but it will simply be paid out to all municipalities.

Then it is up to each municipality to decide for itself how the money will be used to secure the children's right to education, says Johanna Freed, head of unit at the National Agency for Education's processing department.

The money is distributed to each municipality based on the number of children and young people aged 6-19.

The money that each municipality is allocated to itself will go to various initiatives in both municipal and independent schools.

The support is distributed on two occasions, now in February and the second half in June.
