Early childhood education and care ECEC system type and auspices Sweden has a unitary system of early childhood education and care with three main levels of gov- ernment: national, regional (county) and local (municipality). At the national level, since 1996, both centre-based and home-based provision for children aged 1 to under 7 years come under the auspices of the Ministry of Education and Research (Utbildningsdepartementet). Through the Swedish National Agency for Education (Skolverket), the main administrative body at the national level, the government is responsible for setting out policy goals and guidelines and funding frameworks relating to early childhood provision. However, the system itself is highly decentral- ised. At the local level, the 290 municipalities (kommuner) are responsible for the planning and or- ganisation of public ECEC provision and for ensuring that the relevant steering documents are im- plemented.

  • Perspectives on English Language Education in Sweden
    四天王寺大学紀要 第 52 号（2011 年 9 月） Perspectives on English Language Education in Sweden Koji IGAWA & Shigekazu YAGI [Abstract] This is a literature review on current situations of English language education at compulsory schools in Sweden. By examining a variety of literature, the study is to investigate the 9-year English education system in Sweden’s compulsory primary schools (ages 7 - 16) as well as to explore the issue from the following four (4) diverse perspectives that are supposed to impact English education in Sweden: (1) Linguistic affinities between L1 (First Language: Swedish) and TL (Target Language: English), (2) Swedish culture’s historical compatibilities with and current assimilation by Anglo-American culture, (3) Language policies motivated by Sweden becoming a member of the European Union (EU) in 1995, and (4) EU’s recommended language teaching approach of “Content and Language Integrated Learning” (CLIL). A brief set of implications for English language education in Japan are gleaned from the results of this study. [Keywords] English Education in Sweden, EU’s Language Policy, CLIL I. Introduction The harmonious co-existence of many languages in Europe is a powerful symbol of the European Union's aspiration to be united in diversity, one of the cornerstones of the European project. Languages define personal identities, but are also part of a shared inheritance. They can serve as a bridge to other people and open access to other countries and cultures, promoting mutual understanding. A successful multilingualism policy can strengthen life chances of citizens: it may increase their employability, facilitate access to services and rights and contribute to solidarity through enhanced intercultural dialogue and social cohesion.
