Students protest against relocation of vocational programmes

Politicians on the education committee in Uppsala have taken a directional decision to “cluster” vocational preparatory education at a small number of schools in Uppsala. The education committee is the municipal committee responsible for school matters. The school administration is to soon reach a decision on the matter.

For students on the child and leisure programme at Katedralskolan, the education may be moved to Ellen Fries-gymnasiet next school year. 4-5 students in one of the classes are considering dropping out of the programme if the move becomes reality, and the students say they would then not be able to choose optional music, musical theatre and sign language courses. A principal says: “It doesn’t sound good, then we’ll have to try to persuade them to complete the programme.” SVT Nyheter Uppsala
