Critique against the school


The newspaper Dagens Nyheter has criticized the school regarding its act in a commission when one of its students in May 2008 was stabbed outside the school by another student from an adjacent school.
After the publishing of the critique, Dagens Nyheter also interviewed a former teacher, Karl Ågerup, who had written the book Barnens Marknad. Ågerup reported among other things, that the school management puts the school’s economic profit in front of the students’ best interests. He also reported that the principal has changed a failed grade.
The schools management group has rejected the critique.
