Several papers have picked up this story... "TWENTY YEARS AFTER Sweden’s school system opened the door for independent profit-making schools and expanded parents’ choice, sliding results have the leftist opposition saying the system is a textbook example of privatisation gone wrong." ... "Another key aim of the voucher system was to make it easier to set up independent schools offering alternative teaching methods, such as the child-centred approach of the Montessori and Waldorf systems." "Gabriel Sahlgren, director of research at the Institute of Economic Affairs, a free-market leaning think tank based in London, says it is this shift towards independent learning skills over chalk-and-talk teaching that is to blame for the slump in Swedish students’ performance in the last two decades, not the rise in the number of independent schools."
