of the two departments ("sides") entitles those who have passed it to
matriculation at the universities, and is the condition (in certain cases
conjoined with a stipulation as to its being taken in the one or other of the
departments of the school) for admission to various higher colleges.
Number of schools and where located. There are 77 secondary schools
for boys (allmänna läroverk): 38 of these are högre allmänna läroverk,
higher schools comprising both a realskola and a gymnasium, and 39
independent realskolor. Out of the latter 18 are coeducational schools
(samskolor). Among the State schools there is no independent
gymnasium.
Out of the högre allmänna läroverk, the higher schools, 29 contain
both a realgymnasium and a latingymnasium, whereas 5 have only
a realgymnasium and 4 only a latingymnasium. One’ of the higher
schools, namely Nya elementarskolan at . Stockholm, is especially
marked out for pedagogical experiment, and is therefore called Statens
provskola, that is, the State Experimental School.
The higher schools are as a rule located in cathedral cities,
provincial capitals, or other important towns. The coeducational schools
are usually in smaller towns. None of the State schools are in the
country.
In certain quarters endeavours are being made to get the realskolor
expanded — at the local expense, to begin with -— into higher schools,
and moreover, to convert the schools which have only one department
(realgymnasium or latin gymnasium) into "complete schools", comprising
both departments.
The largest higher schools have from 600 to 700 scholars, the largest
independent realskolor from 300 to 400.
The location of the schools is shown in detail by the accompanying
map.
The Government of the schools. The central government of the
State secondary schools and equivalent educational establishments receiving
State aid, is since 1905 in the hands of a Supervisory Board, Kungl.
Läroverksöverstyrelsen (Boyal Board of Secondary Schools). This Board
is entrusted with the supervision of the schools: it deals with
matters of school curriculum, discipline, training of the teachers,
appointment of teachers, and cases of dereliction of duty on the part of the
teachers etc. It particularly devolves on the members of the Supervisory
Board to inspect the schools personally, and in the course of their
inspection to furnish instructions and advice.
The Supervisory Board is composed of a Director-in-Chief
(överdirektör), in the capacity of President, and four läroverksråd, or school
councillors, as members. They are appointed from among the permanent
teachers of the secondary schools, the Higher Training College for Women
(also subject to the supervision of the Board), or the universities and
should, if possible, represent different subjects of instruction.
