FREE schools have become the most feared Swedish export since the Vikings.
Former education secretary Michael Gove based many of his hated reforms on Sweden’s for-profit school sector.
And British teachers are set to receive a warning from across the waters about the pillage of the country’s schools from a senior Swedish teacher.
Teachers’ union Lararforbundet official Linda Norrby will explain to a Sertuc education conference how the system left 10,000 children without school places last year and saw national results slump.
Anti-Academies Alliance chair Bridget Chapman said: “The introduction of the profit-motive into the Swedish education system has been deeply problematic and has led to a reduction in standards.
“We want to learn some lessons from Sweden before the same thing happens here. ”
The Swedish Lessons conference will take place on Saturday February 7 at TUC Congress House. Email sertuc@tuc.org.uk for details.
