Principal Karl Arnros contacted the pensioners' association and asked for assistance, according to an official source. Several pensioners now visit Okome school one day a week, the official said. The specific issues that prompted this outreach have not been disclosed, and it is unclear how many pensioners are involved in the weekly visits.
According to SVT Halland, on the first day of homework help, many children constantly asked the teacher, which was very difficult for her. The children have now learned that the pensioners help them, the official confirmed. Whether the school has become calmer as a result of the pensioners' involvement, and what students think about the visits, remain unknown.
The principal wants to expand the visits in the future, the official said, though specific plans for this expansion have not been detailed.
