Global Education &
European Teaching Strategies
Hagnässkolan
Hagnässkolan is a middle high school located in Brunna, in the Upplands-Bro
municipality. There are about 450 students whose ages range from 10 to 15
years old and 50 staff members (school administration board, teachers, pupil
assistants, school nurse, guidance counsellors, curator, guidance counsellors,
janitor, kitchen assistants)
They enjoy new, refurbished premises which were completed after extended
modernization. In the afternoons, their leisure centre offers open activities for
evening hours. They have 3 tenets in their strategic plan:
1. Adapting teaching to all students’ needs (collaborative process) facilitated by
the National agency- Skolverket.
2. Develop the use of computers.
3. Develop standard criticism, counteract traditional gender roles and accept
differences.
They firmly believe that the school should be a place for students who are
eager to learn, a comfortable place for exciting learning. If the students feel
happy to attend school, families participate more and students find meaning in
their learning progress.
