More Info on Swedish School: (source: sweden.se/)
"In the Swedish school system, children go to school for at least ten years from the year they turn six, as mandated by the Swedish Education Act (link in Swedish). Sweden's long focus on education is quoted as one of the explanations for the country's capacity for innovation.
Swedish preschool emphasises the importance of play in a child’s development, with a curriculum aiming to ensure children’s individual needs and interests. Gender-aware education is increasingly common, striving to provide children with the same opportunities in life regardless of gender.
Compulsory schooling
Swedish compulsory schooling consists of four stages: förskoleklass (‘preschool year’ or year 0), lågstadiet (years 1–3), mellanstadiet (years 4–6) and högstadiet (years 7–9). Children between ages six and thirteen are also offered out-of-school care before and after school hours.
Compulsory education also includes sameskolor (Sami schools) for children of the indigenous Sami people.
Upper secondary school
Gymnasium (upper secondary school, sixth form or high school, years 10–12) is optional. There are eighteen regular national programmes of three years to choose from, six of which are preparatory for higher education such as university, and twelve of which are vocational.
While entrance requirements vary between programmes, all of them demand students to have passing grades in Swedish, English and mathematics from their final year of compulsory schooling.
In 2021, about 86 per cent of Swedish ninth-year students qualified for a vocational programme and 82–85 per cent for a national programme. Those whose grades don’t qualify have five so-called introductory programmes to choose from. From these introductory programmes, students can then move on to a national programme.
There are also upper secondary schools for people with intellectual disabilities as well as programme variations targeting for example athletes.
In total, around 69 per cent of upper secondary students received a leaving qualification in 2021 (diploma).
Recent reforms in the Swedish school system
In 2011, the Swedish Education Act was thoroughly revised, with higher formal requirements for teachers than earlier. The current act also puts more focus on student and teacher health, and allows more freedom of choice than previously.
That same year, Sweden's national curriculum came into force. The curriculum, which applies to all forms of compulsory education in the Swedish school system, came with new general goals, guidelines and syllabuses. Mandatory national subject tests to assess student progress – which were already in place for years 3 and 9 – were added for year 6.
New grading system
The grading in the Swedish school system was also updated in 2011, to a scale with six grades from A to F, where A to E are passing grades, and F represents a failing grade. This system is similar to the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS), the standard grading system for higher education in Europe.
Since 2012, grades are assigned from year 6 in Sweden.
Teacher certification
As of 1 December 2013, professional certification is required for school and pre-school teachers on permanent contracts. The decision aimed to raise the status of the teaching profession, support professional development and thus increase quality in education."

What suprised you the most about Swedish School? The corn snake and ping pong table definitely caught me off guard, haha.
-
Those crazy random situations you find yourself in--like playing hide-and-seek in a gym at night in a town in Sweden with people you just met--those are the random memories you'll always cherish.
-
Wow Swedish teens seems very mature for their age, and at the same time they seem very funny and transparent. In my country I would've never imagined having a conversation like that with someone of my age in my public high school, it's more like everyone was trying to be cool and "interesting" showing masks instead of they actual personality and pretending their preferences just to be accepted. Hope I can go to Sweden one day
-
Swedish people are really down to earth and seem to have figured out about life. Do your best don’t stress out. Don’t forget to have fun.
-
Jag har aldrig läst så mycket positivt om Sverige som när jag läser i detta kommentarsfält 🫶🏼
-
It's so surreal to be randomly browsing youtube, getting recomended a random video from someone you've never watched and then all the sudden realise that the video you are watching is from the city you live in and the school you graduated from half a year ago.
-
Swedish people just seem like a gift to our universe. Such lovely people ♥️ much love from America…. The land of a couple lovely people 😂
-
I've smiled during the whole video. It's so wonderful to have an opportunity to see the world and communicate with people around it. There is you, Max, living in America and filming a video in Sweden. And there's me, sitting home in my country of Kazakhstan. The world is a wonderful place that is being destroyed by bad people. I want to see the world more like you want to show it to us. I've spent 27 minutes watching this video and there is absolutely nothing I would regret watching it. The video is great! Keep up with that! Much love x

I feel happy looking at this as a swedish person🇸🇪❤️ And i’m glad everyone in the comments love swedish people❤️

Wow your education systems are soo good, you guys learn freely, teach freely , think freely , your country is a blessing man . I am enough in everything in my country . The education is like suiciding the students, it is not friendly , schools like factories . I am so overwhelming when i see videos like these . I always wish that i can live in countries like yours.

Really wholesome seeing you dive into other peoples lives. It’s always nice to see how many opportunities arise when you just do something that other people are calling „weird“.
-
Enjoyed this as a Swedish teacher myself! Always fun to see other schools, and even more so with an American perspective added to it.

wtfff i dont think ive watched a video this long and smiled during the whole thing. Idk why but the scene at the gym playing hiding seek almost made me cry, it reminded me a lot of a time when I did the exact thing with a group of friends and I even had the plan of hiding outside the gym to trick a person LOL Max, if ur reading this, I loved the way you shared this event, it was raw and as unfiltered as it needed to be to really create this sense of connection to where you were. Overall 10/10!

I must say that this video is one of my favourites of you. I loved how you were able to caught the ordinary life of people from another country. A video about a school day it's like your signature, but you did much more than that. I loved how these people were playing, having fun, talking about life in general and really enjoying themselves. You are in a very priviledge position, to be able to experience that and at the same time, share it with us. It's a beautiful remider that it doesn't matter were you come from, we have more things in common that we thought. I hope I can go to Sweden someday. Cheers Max.

I literally love this guy ... he makes incredible videos where he tells his day in a simple way, and the most beautiful, but not obvious, thing is that you see how simple and genuine he is. How much I would like you to come to Italy..
-
Kalmar!! I didn't grow up there. But this is my paternal grandmothers home town. So for me.. Kalmar has always been connected with summer, fun.. And meeting my cousins who all live there. If I am not mistaken. This was Lars Kaggskolan. It used to be a naval school. That tower simulates the bridge and observation deck of large naval ships or cruise vessels and the students meant to be captains would study navigation up there.

I am amazed at the wonder of Swedish public schools, in my country literality all the public schools are three rooms with the deteriorated dirty faded walls and the moldy wooden floor in the entrance.
-
How kind and welcoming they are!
-
What a beautiful Movie Max! You literally had me laughing so hard at how random it was when you were in the gym! Can't wait for your next movie! Thank you!!!

I’m so glad u were able to visit a Swedish school and able to record! 🙏
