Staff educational background (2025)

Skolverket's mutually exclusive categories for staff in the preschool unit. The figures come from Skolverket's annual survey; staff hired after the survey appear first in the next survey.

Of which preschool-teacher degree: 72%

Preschool-teacher licence (share of full-time posts): 76% · Municipality 52.7% · National 44.7%

A preschool-teacher licence is Skolverket's proof that someone is a qualified preschool teacher; as a rule, only licensed preschool teachers may be responsible for teaching. Pedagogical higher education means a university degree with a teaching focus, with or without a licence. The measures are counted separately, so the share with a licence can be higher than the share with pedagogical higher education.

Children enrolled (2025)

ShareThis preschoolNational
Share of girls43% (exact value 43.2%)48.6%
Children with a foreign background (born abroad, or both parents born abroad) Including children who were not in the population register on 30 September of that year.27% (exact value 27.2%)24.2%
Children with at least one parent with post-secondary education76% (exact value 76.0%)68.1%

The figures describe which children are enrolled, not the preschool's quality, and affect no rankings on Skolkoll. The shares vary a lot between municipalities and neighbourhoods; the national figure is a reference, not a norm. At a small preschool a single child can move a share by several percentage points. Skolverket does not publish a value that rests on few children, so small preschools often lack it.
