Helping students falling through the cracks

Jan Jönsson (L) proposed a new action plan for Stockholm City to support "grey zone children" – students with cognitive difficulties who struggle in school but don't qualify for adapted education. While the Liberal Party argues these students receive insufficient support in high school, Stockholm City and the Education Committee believe their existing structured support for students with special needs, including special education and transition procedures, is adequate, and therefore a new action plan is unnecessary. Jönsson, however, contends that current measures do not sufficiently address the specific needs of this group.
