Disciplinary measures (disciplinära åtgärder) are the tools the Education Act gives teachers and principals to maintain order and classroom calm.
Escalation steps
- Verbal warning
- Removal from the classroom (for the remainder of the lesson)
- Detention (up to one hour after the school day ends)
- Relocation to another class or school
- Temporary suspension (upper secondary, up to two weeks)
All measures must be proportionate and documented. Physical intervention is only permitted if necessary to prevent violence or damage to property.
