Research says that grade configuration is inconclusive at best and there is no research…

Nyroos, Mikaela – Teachers and Teaching: Theory and Practice, 2008
During the last three decades Swedish education has undergone radical decentralisation involving increased school autonomy. One aspect of this change is the gradual weakening of the state regulation of teaching time. Thus, Sweden is somewhat of an extreme in the EU. This is accentuated by a five-year experiment, where 900 compulsory schools were…

Junior and junior-senior high schools enroll a large proportion of our early adolescent population.

These programs, services, practices, and staff characteristics constitute the scope of the present…
