The Preschool and Primary School Administration is organizing the consultation, which aims to gather views and proposals on how preschools and schools can better serve national minorities under current legislation, according to Umeå kommun. The meeting will run from 18:00 to 19:30, with participants gathering outside the entrance at 17:55.
The agenda includes information on the current state of preschool education in minority languages and mother tongue instruction, including the recent addition of Yiddish. Organizers will also present a follow-up to a survey and facilitate dialogue based on needs identified in the responses. Discussions will cover ways to strengthen participation and safety for minority groups. A summary and feedback on how the consultation is conducted and how dialogue will be followed up are also planned.
Participants are encouraged to bring questions. For inquiries before the event, contact Marie Karling. Specific details on survey results, implementation plans, and the status of Yiddish instruction remain unclear.
