Committee on Education (Sweden)

The Committee on Education (Swedish: Utbildningsutskottet) is a standing committee in the Swedish Riksdag (parliament). The committee is responsible for scrutinizing government proposals (bills) and monitoring the implementation of decisions related to education policy. Its purview includes issues concerning preschool, compulsory school, upper secondary school, adult education, folk high schools, vocational education, higher education (universities and university colleges), student aid, and research.

The committee's work involves holding hearings with experts, studying government reports, and proposing amendments to legislation. Members of the committee are drawn from all parties represented in the Riksdag, reflecting the political composition of the parliament. The committee plays a central role in shaping Swedish education policy through its oversight and legislative functions. The specific composition and areas of focus can shift depending on the governing coalition and prevailing political priorities.
