The “Sweden course” is mandatory training that must be more comprehensive than the current information available. The issue is deemed significant, particularly by party leader Johan Pehrson, who is also the Minister of Labor Markets and Integration. Pehrson believes that the course is crucial for integration and understanding how Sweden works. The government parties and the Sweden Democrats are looking into how the course should be designed for new arrivals, with the mandatory requirement being essential. Pehrson stated that it is a signal of “welcome to Sweden, here are the rules, now we are driving” at the Liberals’ national meeting in Linköping.
The mandatory training is called the “Sweden course” and must be more comprehensive than the information that is currently offered.
The issue is considered important, not least for the Liberals’ party leader Johan Pehrson, who is also the Minister for Labor Markets and Integration:
– We believe that it is absolutely crucial for integration. If people are to have a chance in Sweden, and we want that, then you have to understand how Sweden works.
According to Ekot, the government parties and the Sweden Democrats now agree to investigate how a course in social studies for new arrivals should be designed. And the mandatory requirement is important, says Johan Pehrson at the Liberals’ national meeting in Linköping.
– It is a signal that “welcome to Sweden, here are the rules, now we are driving”.
