On entering a State secondary school the scholars pay a matriculation fee
of 10 kronor; however, scholars without means and those who are transferred
from one school to another, are exempted from this fee. In addition to this
the scholars also pay for each term a "school fee" (terminsavgift till läroverket),
from which scholars without means or of small means may be partially
exempted, and also a "State fee" (terminsavgift till Staten); from this latter
entire exemption may be granted. The total school fees without any rebate are
for the whole school year about 80 kronor in the realskola, and about 100 kronor
in the gymnasium. The matriculation fees and the school fees for the term
are appropriated to lighting and heating, educational appliances, and prizes; a
certain ratio falls to the building fund.
In each diocese there shall be a Prize and Charity Fund for the benefit of
the State secondary schools located in it; the annual revenues are distributed
among the schools in the diocese in proportion to the number of scholars etc.
This fund is administered by the Chapter. — Moreover, several of the schools
possesB considerable donation funds, the proceeds of which chiefly are
appropriated to stipends, prizes, or relief to scholars.
The State subsidy to the secondary schools for boys was in 1912
5 680 229 kronor, corresponding to about 243 kronor for each scholar. To
this accrue the very considerable communal dues referred to above.
Communal Intermediate Schools.
Endeavours have long been made to bring about closer connection
between the State secondary schools and the elementary schools (cf. p.
343). A step in this direction was taken with the erection from 1910
onwards of kommunala mellanskolor, communal intermediate schools. These
intermediate schools are, as the Swedes have it, "superstructures"’
(överbyggnader) on the top of the elementary school (folkskolan): they follow
up the four years course at the elementary school with a four years course,
leading up to the realskolexamen. They are chiefly intended for
communities of some size and importance (e. g. new industrial centres) which
possess no State secondary school.
In accordance with the bill passed bs^ the Riksdag, elementary school
teachers with a good record shall, after completing certain studies, be
entitled to be engaged as teachers at these intermediate schools. The
question as to the training of these teachers has not yet been solved.
The communal intermediate schools are superintended by the
Supervisory Board, which appoints an inspector for each school. The right to
hold the realskolexamen is obtained by an intermediate school after its
competence has been duly tested by the Supervisory Board. Government
issues for each school a code of regulations, containing provisions as to
local government, and so on.
In schools where boys are taught, there shall be at least one male
teacher, in schools where girls are taught, at least one female teacher.
