To prevent that valuable opinions remain hidden in the comments section, we will "lift them" into full view. Here is the first from "PYP Parent":
Sadly, this is how the Skolstaden will get the IB programme. By fooling parents. NO ONE will stay at Maria Park! Everyone moves 2010, NO ONE stays on Maria Park. I have heard that Grade 11 (starting their final year AUGUST 2009) will be moved to Skolstaden IN AUGUST 2009, and that no consultation has taken place with parents. Their views are not even asked for, let alone having any information.
From what I know, PYP and MYP will be in Petri, 10-12 (IB Diploma) at Nicolai = Skolstaden IB Diploma, not ISH.
1 week since the Parents' Work Group were given a presentation of the proposals, 5 days since the teachers were told, and 12 weeks since the school told us anything.
4 WEEKS TODAY THE SCHOOL SHUTS FOR THE SUMMER.
IF YOU CARE; SHOUT NOW! TOMORROW IS TOO LATE.... ASK GRADE 11 WHAT THEY WERE PROMISED LAST YEAR AND WHAT IS BEING DONE TO THEM NOW.

I am so alarmed by what I am hearing, that I have looked on the Government Offices of Sweden website. If we are being told changes need to take place because of budget cuts, that is not what the government is saying!
ReplyDeleteSupport to the local authorities to protect welfare and respond to the crisis
The deep recession in the wake of the global financial crisis has rapidly worsened the financial situation of Swedish local authorities. To cushion the consequences of the recession the Government proposes that the state give the local authorities a temporary grant of SEK 7 billion in 2009. These funds are intended to be used in 2010. For 2011 and 2012 the Government proposes that the local authorities receive SEK 5 billion more in government grant than presented in the 2009 Budget Bill.
The Government is presenting these proposals in the 2009 Spring Fiscal Policy Bill to establish a stable basis for local authority planning in troubled times. The support will enable local authorities to secure the provision of fundamental welfare services by providing resources for health, education and social services even when their financial situation is deteriorating rapidly. The increased support will also counter a rise in unemployment as a result of redundancies in county councils and municipalities.
Local authorities currently account for 25 per cent of employment in Sweden. The Government expects the temporary cyclical support of SEK 7 billion to prevent over 9000 people losing their jobs.
