School visits to universities to encourage study

Councillor Tom Hedrup (M) proposed that all high school students in Stockholm should visit a university at least once before graduation to boost interest in further studies, especially among students from homes without academic traditions. The City Executive Board responded that Stockholm already collaborates with institutions like KTH and Stockholm University, partly through Vetenskapens Hus, which offers free visits. However, the Board believes that principals are responsible for planning study visits based on their school's specific needs.
