Abstract [en]

The aim of this essay was to investigate what the support in law, human rights conventions and Agenda 2030 looks like and what opportunities and obstacles exist in the teachers' application to achieve compliance. A central principle found in international conventions on human rights is the principle of non-discrimination. The purpose of this work was also to study how discrimination against children with neuropsychiatric disabilities can look like in school.The result of the survey reveals that children with disabilities are discriminated against in the Swedish primary school. The Minister of Education, deputy principal and secondary school teachers interviewed in the study all say that a lack of resources is the reason for the lack of application. Other reasons for deficiencies in the application are, as stated by upper secondary teacher A, that guardians and students do not know what rights they have or that the parents are not combatant enough. The school takes advantage of this, and students’ risk being without the support to which they are entitled.Deputy principal Erica emphasized that the school being controlled by politicians is a problem.Every four years the school's conditions can change due to new laws that mean you have to start over and maybe let go of something that actually worked well. Those who are affected by this are the ones we are there for, the students, says Erica Eriksson. Minister of Education Anna Ekström and upper secondary teacher A both mention the problem with today's grading system where failing grades in core subjects prevent students from progressing to upper secondary school. According to Anna, today's grading system is both uneconomical and cruel. Anna Ekström wants to see earmarked money for the school. Perhaps it would help that students who are in need of various support efforts at school do not have to feel singled out or be the ones who have to bear the responsibility for the number of students in the class needing to increase or for the opening hours at the leisure club to be shortened. The option to appeal a decision enhances legal certainty. The judgments from the Discrimination Ombudsman reveals two cases of discrimination are reported where the municipalities in question, among other things, have delayed investigating a student's need for support even though the needs have been known for a long time.7Current support has not been documented in the action program and the action program has not been evaluated. All of these are examples of how the municipalities in question have discriminated against the students who, through deficient actions, have not received what they are entitled to.
