Teacher resources
Teacher density and teacher certification for the group's 37 compulsory and upper-secondary schools covering 13,790 pupils. Municipal benchmarks are weighted by pupil count in the municipalities where the group operates schools.
| Municipality | Schools | Pupils/teacher | Municipal bench. (pupils/teach.) | Qualified teachers | Municipal bench. (qualified) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stockholm | 7 | 15.2 | 13.1 | 79.9% | 79.6% |
| Norrköping | 2 | 16.8 | 12.2 | 83.1% | 77.6% |

Method and remaining data gaps
Pupils per teacher and qualified teachers come from Skolverket's school-unit statistics. Pupils per teacher is weighted by pupil count. Percentage metrics are weighted by teacher FTE where available, or derived from pupil count and pupils per teacher. Municipal comparisons come from Kolada and switch between compulsory-school and upper-secondary KPIs depending on school form.
Current data lacks exact per-subject qualification, teacher stability as a share retained for at least three years, teacher sick leave, and teacher salary and teacher FTE per provider/school. They are therefore not shown as a proxy from total personnel cost, since that would mix teachers with other staff.
Source: Skolverket and Kolada. Teacher salary per pupil is not shown because teacher salary and teacher FTE are missing from current data.
Pedagogical resources
Learning materials, teaching tools and the school library across the group's 37 compulsory and upper-secondary schools (13,790 pupils in the basis).
Method and limitations
The cost figure is Skolverket's "learning tools and school library per pupil" line (learning materials, equipment and library combined), weighted by pupils across the group's compulsory and upper-secondary schools; the sector median compares against other groups. The library share shows the proportion of schools that report having a school library (presence, not staffing with a qualified librarian per the 2023 library-law requirement). The number of 1:1 devices with lifespan, and a separate IT / digital-materials cost, are not tagged in current sources and are therefore not shown.
Results and engagement
Results and satisfaction signals across the group's 37 compulsory and upper-secondary schools (13,790 pupils in the basis).
Method and limitations
Eligibility for upper-secondary (year 9), upper-secondary exam within three years (higher-ed-prep and vocational programmes respectively) and a satisfaction index for support from home from the school survey, weighted by pupils across the group's schools; the sector median refers to eligibility. Skolinspektionen's full attitude survey and the number of reported abuse cases are not available as structured per-school data and are not shown. The satisfaction index is based on a single survey question and is not a measure of pupil influence or engagement at large.
