I was a teacher for adult students in my hometown. But since Sweden needs teachers, I decide to try with kids here. I have been around a school, getting to know the scholar system. And I must say the disappointment is huge.
When you think is schooling in Europe the imaginary is "high ranked level of education". I must say there is nothing more inaccurate in Sweden - so far as I see.
The system has make a big damage on children around the country.
Sweden is a social democratic country. At least the state is. The population... not so much. Most of the people seem to have a very individualistic point of view. "The state has obligations with me, I just care about me". There is not a wide view on community. Not to say they even avoid to meet their neighbors when going out of the flat.
In schools then you can find students who make the most minimal effort, just to get enough points to go into gymnasium and get a technical degree in order to get a kind of good job. If you do not, the most likely option is to work at McDonald's.
This is extremely alien, taking into account Sweden has tuition-free education. Most of the students in graduate programs are international students.
Teenagers might be unconscious of the importance of education. But the fact that you can also find these opinions in grown-ups makes me worried.
I can only talk from my limited experience, so far. Let's see what I find in the future.
