Skolkoll uses analytics cookies for visitor statistics, A/B testing and site improvement (Google Analytics 4 and Zoho PageSense, which may include heatmaps and session recording on public pages). You can change your choice at any time.
After accepted analytics consent, Skolkoll may store the paywall variant locally (skolkoll_paywall_ab_v1) and click attribution for the current session (skolkoll_paywall_last_click) to measure whether school-page CTAs lead to trial starts.

Data not available
Some data that would be valuable is missing from available open data sources.
- Absence (compulsory school)
- Not available in Kolada. Kolada only has absence data for upper secondary (N17625 — withdrawn study support due to unexcused absence). Skolverket's statistics database has some absence data but no open API.
- Special support (school level)
- Kolada lacks specific KPIs for action plans and student health staff per school (school nurse, counsellor, psychologist, doctor). Data is only available at municipality level.
