Skolpolitik (education policy) concerns how the education system is governed, organised, and funded. In Sweden, responsibility is shared between the national level (parliament, government, agencies) and the local level (municipalities).
Chain of governance
Parliament enacts the Education Act. The government establishes curricula. The National Agency for Education (Skolverket) issues regulations and support materials. The municipality organises and funds school operations. The Schools Inspectorate (Skolinspektionen) monitors compliance with the rules. In this chain each level has its responsibility, but the teacher holds ultimate responsibility for instruction.
