Several of the teachers that SVT has been in contact with dare or do not want to talk about Oneschool global, the free school run by the Christian movement Plymouthbröderna in Långaryd, Halland.

One reason is that employees risk fines if they disclose the content of agreements or policies.

The employment agreement describes an extensive confidentiality requirement that applies even after staff have left the school.

Many that SVT spoke to interpret the agreement as meaning that they are not allowed to talk about the school at all, even though it also states that whistleblower protection applies.

In the clip, teachers talk about what can happen if you go against the Plymouth brothers' rules.

Can lose the job

If you as an employee say or do something that is not accepted by the board, you may be summoned to a meeting.

Several teachers testify to that.

This is also confirmed by the internal code of conduct, the contents of which SVT previously revealed. It states that those who do not follow the rules risk penalties and may lose their jobs.

Just over ten years ago, the school was involved in a legal process.

It started with a conflict where the board accused the then principal of having leaked company secrets to the School Inspectorate.

The principal lost the target.

Generous budget

Teachers point out that as long as you agree with the board, the working environment is good.

There are small classes, decent students and the school's budget is generous.

A few of the approximately 20 teachers that SVT has been in contact with are only positive about the school.

None of them want to be interviewed.   

Refuse collective agreement

The board, which does not appear for an interview, writes in an email to SVT that there may be disciplinary measures if employees do not act according to the school's rules and that the penalties are regulated in Swedish law.

The school does not have a collective bargaining agreement because that type of agreement is not compatible with the beliefs of the Plymouth Brethren.

The majority of the students at the school are from Gislaved and Ljungby.
