Committee on Education

How should the Swedish education system be organised? What rules should we have for certification of teachers. How should money for research be distributed? The Committee on Education deals with matters relating to research and education, from pre-school to higher education, municipal adult education and vocational higher education. This also includes financial aid for students. The Committee is also responsible for space issues.

Committee on Education (in Swedish)

The parliamentary committees prepare decisions

The hub of the work of the Riksdag is the 15 parliamentary committees. This is where the members prepare the Riksdag’s decisions. When a committee has presented its proposal for a decision, all 349 members of the Riksdag adopt a position on the proposal. Each committee is made up of 17 members of the Riksdag. The committees are like a miniature Riksdag, which means that the composition of members in each committee reflects the balance of power in the Riksdag as a whole.
