Pupils were invited to an election debate at Hjalmar Strömerskolan

The school invited all students and representatives from the Riksdag parties' youth association to the election debate.

All but the Liberals and the Christian Democrats were represented.

The goal was partly to show the students how the democratic system works and how the political process works - and partly for the students to ask their questions to the parties.

The debate's hottest questions were about how it should be easier for young people to get out into working life, how the care queues for, for example, BUP should be shortened and how the infrastructure can be improved.

- We think it is important that we at school encourage the students to make use of their democratic rights and that the students who turn 18 on election day also vote for the Riksdag, municipal and regional councils, says Jan Rönngren, high school teacher and politically active for the Moderates and chairman for the municipal audit.

Pupils are invited to school selection

On Wednesday, the school concludes its work on the political process with a school election.

Then every student gets the chance to vote for the various parties and learn what it's like to vote in a parliamentary election.

- The political interest at the school is very great.

I have good hopes that all students will vote on Wednesday, says Jan Rönngren.
