Two Christian independent schools in Umeå, Sweden, have been ordered to close within a week following inspections by the Swedish Schools Inspectorate. The latest closure, Mariaskolan, stems from concerns regarding financial instability, safety issues, and a lack of scientific basis in parts of the curriculum. The Inspectorate cited similar deficiencies at the first school closed, though details were not specified in this report. These findings indicate systemic problems within the schools’ operations. The closures raise questions about oversight of independent faith-based schools in Sweden. Authorities are now responsible for ensuring students are transferred to alternative educational facilities. The schools’ future remains uncertain following the Inspectorate’s decisions.
