How the national average is calculated
All values come from Kolada (municipal level) as an unweighted mean across Sweden's municipalities with data — every municipality contributes one value regardless of size. Aggregate rows (Riket, typkommun groupings) are filtered out.
Skolverket doesn't publish komvux statistics at the unit level, so we can't compute an unweighted school-level mean the way we do for compulsory and upper-secondary schools.
Detailed formulas are in the method policy. Raw data for komvux KPIs comes directly from Kolada under CC BY 4.0; our CSV export at /en/download/municipalities/ currently only includes compulsory-school fields.
Frequently asked questions
What is komvux?
Municipal adult education (komvux) offers basic and upper-secondary courses for adults. Pupils include those completing missing grades from compulsory or upper-secondary school plus those studying new courses to change careers or qualify for higher education.
Why isn't there a school-level value for komvux?
Skolverket publishes komvux statistics as municipal aggregates only — not per komvux unit. So all our komvux values come from Kolada (municipal level) as an unweighted municipal mean.
Is teacher certification the same as teacher degree?
No. Teacher certification (lärarlegitimation) is a professional license required for grading and leading instruction. All certified teachers have a teaching degree, but not all degree-holders are certified — that's a separate application.
Unweighted or weighted mean?
Unweighted municipal mean — every municipality contributes one value regardless of size. Differs from Skolverket's often pupil-weighted national figure but better reflects the average municipality.
