Improving vocational programs and school choices

A motion by Jan Jönsson (L) proposed placing vocational programs in popular inner-city high schools, developing a strategy to make them more attractive, and training career counselors to increase student enrollment. The City Executive Board responded that the city is already working to strengthen vocational programs, citing the successful relocation of a sales and service program to Bromma Gymnasium, and that career counselors are already receiving ongoing training. They also noted challenges in establishing new inner-city vocational programs, including costs and potential competition with existing schools.
