June 16, 2026

由 AI 报道

The Parliamentary Ombudsman has ruled that preschools and after-school programs may close for planning or training a maximum of four times per year.

The decision stems from a complaint against Kungsör municipality. The municipality had intended to close operations for six days during the 2025/2026 school year.

Chief Parliamentary Ombudsman Erik Nymansson stressed that the Education Act requires preschools and after-school care to be offered to the extent needed, taking into account factors such as parents' employment.

JO noted that the need for planning is understandable but that closures must not occur to an excessive extent.
