“Swedish chairman, Johanna Jaara Åstrand, mean that teachers are greatly over-represented when it comes to sick leave and a better work environment and higher salary, it is able to attract teachers back to the profession. “
“There is of course no reason to question an individual teacher’s incentive to quit as a teacher. Sometimes it is for reasons which is all about the stress and high pressure. Sometimes, it is the desire to do other things in life. “
“But, on the basis of a couple of hundred teachers – in a professional group with over 200 000 people – say that there is an escape is an exaggeration. “
“a Teacher is one of Sweden’s largest occupational groups. In terms of number of people they can so clearly make a big impression in the sjukfrånvarostatistiken. But in comparison with other professions, teachers are certainly not strongly over-represented. “
“The personnel statistics show that sickness absence during the 2017 total seen in the municipalities is low at an average of 4.5 per cent. For primary and secondary school teachers low sickness absence rate of 3.0 and 2.8 per cent during the same period. Pre-school teacher had a sick leave above average: 5.5 per cent. “
“the SALAR has, together with the lärarfacken made several efforts to bring down sickness absence for all of the teachers at a low and stable level. It is, inter alia, that teachers should have good conditions to plan, implement and follow up the teaching. “
“Even career issues and how the school organises its operations with the various professionals with different competencies are important pieces to promote a good working environment. “
“last autumn, signed, SKL and lärarfacken a new collective agreement which contains additional efforts on occupational health and safety, and that we shall do together. “
“A good wage is at the side of a good working environment is crucial for teachers to be successful and do a good job. According to the national mediation office is the teachers one of the groups who have had the best wages of all the last few years. “

“Lärarbristen is one of welfare’s most important challenges, we fully agree with the teachers’ association. It is our common task to work for the teaching profession should be even more attractive. “
“I work for that more people would become teachers, we should be based on proper facts when we’re talking about teachers’ pay progression, sickness absence and health and safety. “
