Liberal party member Jan Jönsson has asked the Education Committee about improving vocational education and increasing workplace learning opportunities for students. The administration agrees on the importance of making vocational programs more attractive and providing better guidance. They will pilot a new model called SAO jobs, replacing traditional internships for eighth-graders in certain Stockholm focus areas, and will not implement a Danish model or start other pilot projects until the SAO jobs have been evaluated.

The Municipal Board has issued a proposed action plan to strengthen children's rights and influence in Stockholm until 2030, as part of the city's broader human rights program aimed at combating discrimination and promoting equal living conditions for all children under 18. While the Education Administration welcomes the initiative, they believe the plan has too many goals, which could lead to unfocused work and difficulty in follow-up, and therefore suggest reducing the number of goals for clearer results.

The Stockholm Education Committee presents its financial forecast for February 2026. The forecast indicates that the committee as a whole is expected to remain within its budget due to a reduction in school reserves. However, many primary and secondary schools are facing deficits totaling 64 million kronor and are implementing action plans to balance their finances, partly attributed to declining student enrollment.

The Education Administration has provided feedback on a revised agreement for the Upper Secondary School Admissions in Stockholm County. This agreement, managed by Storsthlm, clarifies working methods and the division of responsibilities among municipalities, including the transfer of ownership of the admissions system "Indra" to Inera AB in July 2026, requiring each municipality to sign its own access agreement while Storsthlm continues administration. Additionally, the administration has approved a revised agreement for cost responsibility for aids in preschool and school between Region Stockholm and the municipalities, clarifying that schools will cover basic and pedagogical aids while the region covers individually prescribed aids, ensuring necessary support for children and young people.

Stockholm is revising its guidelines for out-of-hours childcare, effective August 17, 2026. These changes include extended operating hours from 5:30 PM to 7:30 AM, and a stricter approach to in-home care to prioritize safer environments in dedicated facilities. Additionally, a clearer child perspective with guidance for children needing extra support will be emphasized, and private providers will no longer offer this service as the municipality believes its own operations can meet the demand.

Svenska Bostäder has adopted new guidelines for urban development, focusing on reducing hazardous chemicals, improving the business environment, and designing preschool and school grounds for optimal children's play. The decisions also include a plan for housing supply and guidelines for mobility and parking in new developments to encourage sustainable travel.

Svenska Bostäder's board has approved responses to three action plans affecting Stockholm's residents. They are positive about an action plan for an age-friendly city but consider the section on homelessness unnecessarily detailed. They also welcome an action plan strengthening children's rights and influence in the city and want to see more competence-building training in children's rights. Finally, they propose that Boverket, for new and renovated construction, focus on sharing charging infrastructure for electric cars instead of installing individual charging points, which would reduce costs for the city's housing companies by approximately 500 million SEK.

Svenska Bostäder will appoint Monica Häger, or Matilda Malmquist Glas in her absence, as its representative at general meetings for several subsidiaries until 2027. This representative will be tasked with voting in accordance with the auditors' proposals concerning profit and loss statements, balance sheets, profit distribution, and the board's discharge from liability. Furthermore, the representative will vote on the remuneration for board members, lay auditors, and deputies according to the city's regulations, which for 2026 include an increase in annual fees due to a revised price base amount.

AB Svenska Bostäder has submitted its financial monthly report for January 2026. The company's loans decreased by 24 million SEK, totaling 12,234 million SEK, with an interest rate of 2.57%. This indicates that Svenska Bostäder, which builds and manages housing in Stockholm, has good financial control and borrows on favorable terms through the municipality.

Svenska Bostäder, which owns and manages rental properties in Stockholm, presents its procurement activities for 2025. The report details how they purchase goods and services for approximately 2.3 billion Swedish kronor annually, primarily for construction projects, property maintenance, and property operations. This year, they published 42 tenders and focused on making their purchasing more efficient, sustainable, and transparent, including efforts to combat crime in the working world.

Svenska Bostäder reports good progress towards its 2025 goals. Despite a weak construction market, the company has begun building 92 new apartments in Rinkeby and plans for an additional 122 by 2026. Efforts to reduce environmental impact and increase tenant influence through initiatives like "Hemokrati" have also continued. The profit after financial net is SEK 263 million, exceeding the owner's requirements.

Svenska Bostäder has approved its sustainability and annual report for 2025. The report shows that the company made a profit of 209 million SEK after tax. These profits will be retained within the company for future investments and operations, rather than being distributed to shareholders, which is crucial for ensuring the company can continue to build and manage rental apartments in Stockholm.

Svenska Bostäder's board has decided to approve the construction of new housing in the Borlången block in Årstafältet, despite reservations from the Moderate Party, Centre Party, and Christian Democrats. The latter parties believe the costs are too high to build new rental apartments in less central areas and that Svenska Bostäder should instead prioritize maintenance of existing properties, particularly in Järva.

The board of AB Stockholmshem has approved a report of received and answered referrals. This means they have reviewed and approved a list of various matters the company was asked to provide input on and has responded to. The matters concerned topics ranging from children's rights and age-friendly cities to economic abuse and energy declarations for buildings.

Stockholm Hem's board has approved a status report on new housing and will investigate new construction in Norra Rågsved and Mälaräng. This means 150 new and redeveloped apartments are planned in Norra Rågsved, along with 150 apartments in Mälaräng, with estimated investigation costs of 20 million kronor each. The aim is to contribute to the city's overall goal of 140,000 new homes by 2035.

AB Stockholmshem will operate according to new owner directives from the City Council. This means the company will, among other things, adhere to the city's chemical plan for a toxic-free Stockholm, new guidelines for businesses in the city, and guidelines for designing preschool and school yards to create optimal play environments. Additionally, the company will follow the city's housing supply action plan and new guidelines for mobility and parking in new constructions, aiming to reduce car dependency and promote sustainable travel.

AB Stockholmshem has completed the renovation of 51 apartments in the Byrdingen 4 property in Gröndal, built in 1959. The renovation addressed water damage issues by replacing water and sewage pipes, renovating bathrooms, and updating electrical systems. The project cost 30.9 million SEK, significantly under budget, with residents remaining in their homes though 17 were temporarily relocated for health reasons, but a tenant survey revealed dissatisfaction with rent increases not matching the final outcome.

Stockholmshem has decided to renovate 63 apartments in the Högsätra 3 property in Sätra for 104 million SEK. The renovation will include replacing water and sewage pipes, renovating bathrooms, installing new electrical systems, and upgrading kitchens. The aim is to address water damage, improve electrical safety, and raise the standard of the apartments, which is also expected to increase tenant satisfaction. An agreement has been reached with the tenants' association.

Stockholmshem has completed 125 new rental apartments in two six-story buildings in Rågsved. The project cost 335 million SEK and includes a car and bike pool, as well as stormwater treatment that supports biodiversity. Despite some logistical challenges during construction, customer satisfaction is high, and the project has exceeded its financial targets.

AB Stockholmshem, which builds and manages housing in Stockholm, has reported on the progress of its major projects. The company invested 1.56 billion Swedish kronor in 2025, primarily in new housing but also in renovations. The board will now approve this report.
