“THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT CURRENT INFO WE HAVE REGARDING NEGATIVE RESULTS OF CORPORATE FASCIST TAKEOVER OF PUBLIC AND PRIVATE EDUCATION, INCLUDING CHARTER SCHOOLS.”

Euronews reports “Sweden rethinks pioneering school reforms, private equity under fire. When one of the biggest private education firms in Sweden went bankrupt earlier this year, it left 11,000 students in the lurch and made Stockholm rethink its pioneering market reform of the state schools system.

School shutdowns and deteriorating results have taken the shine off an education model admired and emulated around the world, in Britain in particular."

“I think we have had too much blind faith in that more private schools would guarantee greater educational quality,” said Tomas Tobé, head of the parliament’s education committee and spokesman on education for the ruling Moderate party.”
