SKR (Sveriges Kommuner och Regioner — the Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions) is an employer and interest organisation for Sweden's 290 municipalities and 21 regions. SKR represents municipal interests vis-à-vis the state and drives development work in areas including education.
Connection to education
Together with the state, SKR operates the database Kolada, which contains key indicators for municipalities and regions — including school-related indicators such as cost per pupil. SKR is an active participant in education policy discussions concerning funding, equity, and teacher shortages.
