Swedish School

Swedish Language Teaching

Swedish children and teenagers have the opportunity to strengthen their knowledge of Swedish language in Dubai as an after school activity.

Objective

The purpose of teaching Swedish to children in their own mother tongue "is to strengthen their comprehension of their own identity and maintain and develop such knowledge which will facilitate their repatriation to Sweden" (quote from Skolverket: "Förordning om statsbidrag till utbildning av utlandssvenska barn och ungdomar" (1994:515).
