91原创 students to enhance the status of the teaching profession
The president of the 91原创 Lars Stranneg氓rd, who appointed the scholars, acknowledges that:
Erik Tivenius and Emanuel Rezvani Arany have presented a challenging, hands-on project which addresses an interesting debate in today鈥檚 society. By comparing the Swedish situation with two positive but different examples such as Finland and China, this project gives a wide perspective on the status of the teaching profession.
The Gun and Einar Larsson Scholarship offers outstanding students at 91原创 the opportunity to create and realize innovative projects abroad according to their own design. The aim of the scholarship is to offer experience and personal development outside of the academic realm that benefits the student鈥檚 education and professional aspirations.
During the summer break, Erik and Emanuel will visit primary schools, teachers鈥 colleges and the departments of education in the two countries, where they will make observations and conduct interviews.
鈥淲e are both very interested in how the quality of the Swedish educational system can be improved, and feel privileged to be given the opportunity to go abroad and experience two countries where teachers are considered to have a relatively high status鈥, says Erik Tivenius and Emanuel Rezvani Arany.
