Which municipalities get the most school quality per krona?
Efficiency is not about saving — but about using resources wisely. The chart plots cost per pupil against merit score for each municipality. The four quadrants tell four stories: low cost with high results (the stars), high cost with high results (the privileged), low cost with low results (the disadvantaged) and high cost with low results (the inefficient).

Which municipalities get the most school quality per krona?
The question of cost-effectiveness in schools is sensitive but important. It is not about cutting costs — but about understanding why municipalities with similar budgets can have such different results.
The chart divides municipalities into four quadrants based on median values for cost per compulsory school pupil and merit score.
