Of the 37 municipal or independent compulsory schools in Huddinge, 7 are run as independent schools (friskolor) and 30 as municipal schools — an independent-school share of 18.9%.
Independent schools (friskolor) are operated by a non-municipal operator (joint-stock company, foundation or association) but funded by the same pupil voucher (skolpeng) as municipal schools. Admission criteria vary: waiting time, sibling priority or geographic priority.
The national average sits around 17% and varies considerably between municipalities. Metropolitan regions generally have a higher share of independent schools than rural ones.
