The discussion will be…

Backman, Ylva; Alerby, Eva; Bergmark, Ulrika; Gardelli, Åsa; Hertting, Krister; Kostenius, Caterine; Öhrling, Kerstin – Education Inquiry, 2012
Managerial documents for the national school system in Sweden have emphasised taking students' voices as a starting point in forming education, and several previous studies have indicated the benefits of giving students opportunities to participate in school.
