Education Department
The Education Department in the City of Stockholm is Sweden's largest municipal administration, with 16,000 employees and about 170 schools.
We work to give all children in Stockholm a good education. Our focus is on improving the students' conditions, motivation and learning.
The issues that the Education Department is responsible for are to
- operate and develop municipal activities in
- preschool classes
- compulsory school
- special needs compulsory school
- upper secondary school
- special needs upper secondary school
- leisure-times centres and after-school clubs
- assume responsibility for independent operations based on the municipality’s responsibilities, such as licensing, supervision and handling applications, comments and complaints
- offer services in all student health professions.
The elected representatives on the Education Committee make decisions on how the City should work in this area. The Education Department must then implement the committee’s decisions.
Organisation
The work of the Education Department is led by Director of Education Lena Holmdahl. The Department consists of six divisions with responsibility for operations within each area.
