Attractive programme design
Most teachers agree on the fact that there is a lack motivation in students:
nothing seems to spark their interest in a society where abundance in general
prevails in their lives and school has been conceptually devalued in the last
20-25 years. There is a wish to raise the
status of the teaching profession,
which seems to be downgraded. Likewise, there is a lack of teachers, especially in
scientific disciplines. Right now, what prevails is the supply-demand pattern.
Foreign teachers are also welcome providing they are proficient in English and
they learn Swedish in one year and a half.
❏
Two cross-curricular objectives:
Students should develop as democratic citizens and should have a broad
repertoire of learning skills and wisdom to cope with their future lives and
professions, thinking critically. Consequently, teachers are encouraged to
cooperate and special projects are emerging for this purpose, like the
workshops on democracy.
