Data sources — status
Skolkoll maintains a catalog of 21 active, planned and ended data sources across 10 public-sector providers. The catalog covers 29 datasets (data types). The table below shows current status per data source; the full dataset list is on the method page. See the glossary for definitions of data source / dataset / data file / school unit. Read more about how data is versioned in the versioning policy.
All data sources
The table states the actual status and update frequency for each source. Ended series may remain as clearly marked historical snapshots for reproducibility.

Model year and sampling method are shown when available. Activates once the SMHI sync has run in prod. | Modelled annual-mean outdoor-air concentration of NO₂, PM2.5 and PM10 per school from Natmodluft's 50x50 m raster. The default is the raster cell at the school coordinates; area_mean, street_point or point_fallback are recorded in row sampling metadata. SMHI is the data host for Naturvårdsverket | Annually |

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 Kolada only has absence data for upper secondary (N17625 — withdrawn study support due to unexcused absence).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.
About data quality
Skolkoll collects data from official Swedish government agencies and open APIs. Active feeds are updated according to the schedules above; ended series remain unchanged as historical snapshots. The data is processed, normalised and cross-referenced to provide as complete a picture as possible of each school and municipality.
