In late July 2026 the Liberal Party (Liberalerna) put forward a package of education reforms, calling for screen‑free classrooms, extra funding for special‑education teachers, smaller class sizes and a 15‑year age limit on social‑media use. The proposal, presented with the Christian Democrats and Sweden Democrats in Bollnäs, was rejected by the governing coalition, which offered no new school spending.

A week later the Liberals announced a political trade with the Christian Democrats: they would back a proposal to nationalise Sweden’s healthcare system if the Christian Democrats accepted the Liberals’ demand for a state‑run school system. The deal links the party’s education agenda to a broader push for centralised health and school services, signalling a shift from isolated school funding proposals to a coordinated reform package that would require extensive implementation periods.

Overall, the Liberals moved from advocating specific screen‑free and funding measures to negotiating a wider reform pact that ties education centralisation to a massive overhaul of the health sector.
