The decision came after several years of criticism, the school has not come to grips with serious drawbacks. It was the first time ever that the authority took to this type of action.

In the future, the headmaster rather than to report directly to the municipal grundskolechef.
” We are very serious about Skolinspektionens decision and the inability of the Storvretskolan. A number of measures have been taken, but they have not had sufficient impact. At the same time, it is important to point out that most of the schools in Botkyrka works well. There are other schools in Botkyrka, where the Inspectorate highlighted the shortcomings, and these are addressed in the normal case in a satisfactory manner. Therefore, it is essential that we make changes that ensure that discrepancies are always caught up in all of our schools and to be rectified as soon as possible. The regular reconciliation with the policy will also be tighter, ” says Mikael Caiman Larsson in the press release.
