The school's fundamental aim is to educate and nurture future citizens, and the goal should be clear in order for the school to be able to carry out its mission. Fredrik Alvén has taken a closer look at historical school policy documents to find out how the good citizen has been described historically, and this leads to a burning contemporary question - what should the school aim for and which organization best meets this?
Fredrik Alvén is an associate professor of history and history education at Malmö University and author of the book In the service of the kingdom: a study on the desired citizen in Swedish educational policy. Organized in collaboration with Nordic Academic Press.
