Vänsterpartiet calls for education commission following PISA results

The Swedish Left Party (Vänsterpartiet) is calling for a formal commission of inquiry into the nation's education system following disappointing results in the latest PISA assessment. Isabell Mixter, the party's education policy spokesperson, criticized the Liberal Party for its long-term management of school policy, suggesting that recent calls for collaborative meetings are an attempt to manage political credibility rather than address systemic issues.

Vänsterpartiet is proposing several reforms, including the abolition of the market school model to ensure funds are directed toward students and teachers rather than profits. They also advocate for differentiating school funding to compensate municipalities for their service responsibilities and reforming the current independent school enrollment system to reduce segregation.
