High schoolers' university visits: motion rejected

Councilman Tom Hedrup (M) proposed that all Stockholm high school students should visit a university at least once before graduation to boost motivation for higher education, especially for first-generation students, and called for increased university collaboration. The city responded that high schools already partner with universities like KTH and Stockholm University, including free visits via Vetenskapens Hus, prioritizing schools with lower admission scores, and emphasized the importance of fostering motivation from elementary school. Citing these existing efforts, the motion was rejected.
