It has become an accepted fact in the debate over public education that independent schools are overcompensated, and that public schools bear costs that independent schools do not. But what is the reality?
The report “Are Independent Schools Overcompensated?” published by the National Association of Independent Schools and covering 32 municipalities, shows that there is an average difference of 16,949 SEK per student per year in resources between a student who chooses a municipal school and a student who chooses an independent school, after taking into account state grants and structural grants.
