IMPORTANCE OF VALUES IN SWEDISH EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM

Journal Title: Forum Pedagogiczne - Year 2015, Vol 5, Issue 2

Abstract

The author tries to reveal the most fundamental values underlying the Swedish educational system – education. Clearly noticeable is the focus on the individual values of the child. Especially in school practice, it leads to widespread use of methods of individualization (despite its criticism), highlighting the equality of all people, and focus on children’s rights. The family is seen as an environment that threatens these values. Great attention is paid to school education with values and practical skills as a main subject. Education cannot be associated with any one ethical and moral system. Such atheistic and gnostic educational foundation raises a number of controversies especially among parents with regard to their right to provide religious and moral principles to their children, as well as religion classes in school. However, in the context of Sweden, these values and rights are less important than the value of the progress, which is treated with a special attention.
