Education in Sweden is free, and there are no textbooks, lunches and transportation. From primary school to university, all education is free. All these mean that although Sweden's education level has reached the third level in the world, as a Swede, we don't need to spend a penny on our children's schooling.
Swedish primary schools have no scores and rankings, but this does not mean that academic performance is not valued. On the contrary, an important concept of Swedish primary education is to cultivate children's creativity and autonomy. In Sweden, children can study in a stress-free environment, which is very important for their all-round development.
The curriculum in Swedish primary schools is also very interesting. They have three big classes every morning, and the longest class is 80 minutes long. There are only 20 minutes of outdoor activities in the whole morning. Swedish schools also attach great importance to children's healthy diet. Their school dietary guidelines specifically point out that all children, regardless of their socio-economic background, can enjoy an equal, nutritious and healthy diet at school.
The characteristics of Swedish primary education system can be summarized as follows: free of charge, paying attention to children's all-round development, reasonable curriculum, and paying attention to children's diet health.
Introduction to primary school:
In ancient times, those who studied textual criticism and phonology were called primary schools. Each character has three parts: glyph; Word meaning; In the Han dynasty, this difference was not significant. At the end of Song Dynasty, Wang Yinglin's Jade Sea has been divided into three types: systematic, exegetical and phonological. "Sikuquanshu" in Qing Dynasty divided primary school books into three categories: exegesis, word books and rhyme books.
When reading, we must first learn to read, master the form, sound and meaning of words, and learn to use them. When children in the Zhou Dynasty entered school, they first studied Liu Jia, Liu Shu and Liu Jia, which refers to six groups of stems and branches with relatively simple strokes for children to practice Chinese characters. Six books refer to things, pictographs, sounds, meanings, annotations and arguments. In the Western Han Dynasty, philology was called primary school, and in the Tang and Song Dynasties, it was also called primary school, hence its name.
