Academic education is often associated with better skills and higher quality. In this study we are looking into how educational background affects the quality of the education in after- school programs. In order to set our investigation of the connection between the educational background of the employees and the quality of the education at after-school in a broader context we also asked our informants about other factors which they believe affect the quality of the education in practice and in which ways. The majority of the data collection was gathered through a digital survey that was sent to five different schools in Stockholm and posted in two Facebook groups. The questions in the survey were based on the dictum from four interviews that were done at four of the schools as a way to prepare the survey. The result is analyzed with support of curriculum theory and discourse theory. The result of the study shows that there is a connection between the educational background and the quality of the education at after-school programs although the differences between the compared groups were not significant, and that there are other factors that have an equal or bigger impact on the quality of the education. The result also shows that there are many different perspectives on what quality in after-school programs might be.
