Shortcomings at electrical program hinder student jobs

High student absence, inadequate equipment and weak industry links mean few students pass exams at Praktiska Gymnasiet in Malmö Limhamn.

At Praktiska Gymnasiet in Limhamn problems are many for students in the electrical and energy program. A row of booths in the installation workshop is used to mount cables and electrical panels. Sydsvenskan's investigation shows that enormous student absence, deficient equipment and weak industry contact mean few students pass the exam. Even fewer get jobs after the education, according to the report by Emma Leijnse with photo by Hussein El-Alawi.
