Skolverket, the Swedish National Agency for Education, serves as the primary public authority overseeing Sweden's education system from preschool through adult learning and child care related to school-age children. Under the framework established by government and Parliament through the Education Act and curricula, the agency actively pursues these objectives. It guides, supports, and assesses the work of municipalities and schools to raise quality and ensure equal educational opportunities, while coordinating nationwide initiatives on disability, environmental matters, and students who have recently arrived in Sweden. Based in Solna in the Stockholm region, Skolverket operates within the government administration sphere to steer national education policy and practice. A notable recent development is the 2021 launch of an online training programme designed to strengthen work-based learning in upper-secondary vocational education.
