Improving Schooling for Children in Care

The Liberal party proposed that Stockholm City implement a model, similar to UppSam in Uppsala, to better coordinate and strengthen schooling for children in care, including those from other municipalities. The aim is to provide these vulnerable children with more stable schooling. The Education Administration responded that the city already has similar cooperation between social services and schools (the SAMS model) and has introduced school coordinators. The administration is already investigating internally whether parts of the UppSam model can be used in Stockholm and believes the current work with school coordinators should be allowed to establish itself before further large development projects are initiated.
