Sweden has a very unique education system. The educational system is socialist and it teaches some interesting classes. Until the 1990’s, the education system in Sweden was not that different from our own.In 1991, Sweden handed most of the control of the system over to cities and towns, giving them a lot of freedom to pick their own curriculums. Only a few subjects must be maintained in all schools around Sweden: Swedish, English, mathematics, natural science and religion, as well as physical education and health. In 1994, though, the government took back some control of the system by introducing a few more curricula changes that stressed the role of educational responsibilities and non-traditional teaching methods.
Today, the system is still very socialist, though not as much so as in the past. Municipalities still shape their curricula, though not as much. Because of the socialist aspect of the educational system in Sweden, high schools offer a lot of classes that teach blue collar skills. Some of these classes are construction, vehicles, and energy. They focus on skills that will help the rest of Sweden.
Overall, Sweden has a very well-structured educational system, maybe even better than our own. It teaches things that we need to focus on more in our society.
