According to the Swedish Migration Agency's statistics, just over 5,000 Ukrainian children and young people of school age 6-18 have arrived in Sweden.

Most have come to Skåne County, Västra Götaland County and Stockholm County.

The Swedish Migration Agency has not made any forecasts of how many children need to be prepared for a place in school.

According to the National Agency for Education, several of the refugees are still going to Ukrainian school digitally.

Sweden's Municipalities and Regions report that all municipalities are planning for the reception, although it is more unclear what is really happening in practice.

The National Agency for Education does not yet have an overview of how far the municipalities have come in preparations to receive Ukrainian school children, but assumes that everyone is more prepared now than in 2015.

Big challenges

The municipalities are facing major challenges, states the National Union of Teachers.

- It will cost quite a lot of money because it needs premises, teachers and above all teachers who can speak Ukrainian, says Åsa Fahlén, chairman of the National Union of Teachers.

But in Grästorp, the municipality has been fast and active.

Municipal councilor Kent Larsson (M) proposed that the municipality itself should arrange for buses to pick up Ukrainian refugees in Poland.

All parties came together and formed into a non-profit association.

Less than a week later, about 70 refugees had been given new homes in Grästorp - among them 26 primary school students.

- What we do practically is that we recruit study supervisors, mother tongue teachers and also teachers of Swedish as a second language, says Eva Dahl, school principal in Grästorp.
