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: 77%

Preschool-teacher licence (share of full-time posts): 88% · Municipality 44.8% · 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.

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.
