All agenda items

The Education Committee approved the Education Administration's statement in response to a letter from Jan Jönsson (L) regarding crime prevention among young people on social media. The statement outlined how schools inform students about laws and consequences, promote a safe environment for reporting vulnerability, and provide information and support to guardians, acknowledging ongoing prevention efforts while noting room for improvement.

The Stockholm City Education Committee approved the Education Administration's response to a letter from Claes Nyberg (C) regarding work against female genital mutilation. While the administration detailed how the city's school health services, including its medical team, conduct health visits and have trained nurses and doctors, the Center Party issued a separate statement noting a lack of clear targets and metrics to evaluate the work, unlike Västerås city.

The Education Committee approved the Education Administration's service report regarding the "Action Plan for a Gender Equal Stockholm 2030." While the administration supported the plan's ambitions and intersectional perspective, they proposed revisions for clarity, concreteness, and a consequential analysis of its economic and administrative impact. The decision was made despite reservations from the Moderates, Liberals, and Sweden Democrats, who criticized the plan for being unclear, overly theoretical, lacking a consequential analysis, and not sufficiently addressing men's violence against women.

The Education Committee approved the Education Administration's statement regarding the "Program for Events in the City of Stockholm," which aims to strengthen Stockholm as an event city, combat segregation and inequality, and include city employees as a key target group. Jan Jönsson (L) and Andréa Hedin (M) reserved themselves, proposing the matter be referred back due to insufficient consultation with the event industry. Erik Ehrs (KD) submitted a substitute statement welcoming the strategy but calling for more concrete measures and simpler permitting processes.

The Education Committee approved the Education Administration's recommendation for the city to transition to digital personnel files, forwarding it as a referral response to the City Executive Board. The administration believes digitalization can enhance security and efficiency, provided there are clear city-wide document flows and comprehensive support for the Education Administration's many employees. Two special statements were submitted, emphasizing the importance of high security and accuracy during the digitalization process.

Stockholm's Education Committee approved the Education Administration's statement regarding the 2025:123 Public Inquiry on stricter conditions for the independent school sector. The City of Stockholm supports the inquiry's proposals, which include mandatory municipal statements for new independent schools, clearer owner checks, and requiring new applications for operational changes. These measures are seen as reducing the risk of students attending schools run by disreputable actors and improving planning for municipal operations.

The Stockholm Education Committee approved the Education Administration's statement regarding the "Principals in Focus" inquiry (SOU 2026:4), largely supporting proposals to strengthen pedagogical leadership and principal recruitment. However, they rejected proposals to restrict state training solely to principals and to give principals the mandate to decide on internal management support, deeming the latter potentially counterproductive. Jan Jönsson (L) also highlighted the importance of relieving principals of administrative burdens to focus on pedagogical leadership.

The Education Committee approved a five-year extension of the lease agreement for Tellusborgsskolan's premises, starting January 1, 2028. This new agreement consolidates existing contracts, leading to an approximate 7.6 million SEK reduction in rental costs for the committee compared to 2026. As part of the deal, the landlord will also upgrade the school's ventilation system and carry out maintenance to improve the indoor environment without disrupting school activities.

The Education Committee approved a revised direction for the HIN project, which aims to remove easily remedied accessibility barriers in Stockholm's primary schools. The decision means focusing on cost- and time-effective measures as defined by Boverket (the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning), and better coordinating the work with planned maintenance projects. This will contribute to increased accessibility in public areas of school premises for visitors during operating hours.

The Education Committee approved the Education Administration's proposed statement regarding the final report "An Improved Student Health Service" (SOU 2025:113) from the City Executive Board. The statement, now forwarded to the City Executive Board, supports strengthening student health but criticizes several proposals, including increased state micromanagement, expanded formal requirements, changes to the core mission of student health, and an estimated annual cost increase of 45 million SEK for the city. Both the Moderates and Liberals reserved against the decision, presenting their own proposals emphasizing the re-establishment of school healthcare as first-line care and demanding full state funding for any new licensing requirements for school counselors.

The Education Committee approved the Education Administration's proposed basis for the 2027 budget, with a focus for 2028 and 2029, including appendices, and submitted it to the City Executive Board. The proposal emphasizes teaching quality, efficient resource use, declining primary school enrollment, and adapting upper secondary education to labor market needs. The Moderates, Liberals, and Sweden Democrats reserved against the decision, presenting their own proposals.

The Education Committee approved its monthly report for March 2025. This report, which included a financial forecast for the committee through March 2026, was then filed.

The Education Committee reported several delegated decisions, including a compilation of decisions within the Education Administration up to April 2026. Other decisions concerned the cessation of compulsory schooling due to permanent residence abroad or postponed schooling, and compensation for studies abroad.

The Education Committee reported having reviewed decisions from the City Council, the City Executive Board, and the city's various committees. Specifically, decisions concerning a revised implementation for Lillholmsskolan and an investigation into Eriksdalsskolan were noted.

The Head of Primary Schools, Peter Bragner, updated the Education Committee on the status of school-based workplace learning (SAO jobs), the current situation at Observatorielunden School and Vasa Real, and the situation at Johannes School. The committee acknowledged the information provided.

The Kungsholmen District Council addressed two written submissions.

The Council forwarded both submissions to the administration for further investigation.

The Kungsholmen District Council reviewed the minutes from the Pensioners' Council meeting on April 20, 2026. The council filed the minutes for information, meaning the content was noted and archived without a specific decision being made on the matter.

The Kungsholmen District Council reviewed a balance sheet for April 2026. The council decided to note the balance sheet, meaning it was acknowledged and included in the meeting minutes without any further active decision.

The Kungsholmen District Council reviewed a referral concerning a liquor license for the restaurant Chefs table. The council submitted the district administration's opinion as a response, which found no risk of social or other drawbacks associated with the license and therefore had no objections to Chefs table being granted one.
