Some of the differences in curriculum focus and facilities are evident in this wood-and metal working classroom (for students aged 8-years and older) in Linköping.
During March Break in 2017, Dan Martin, VP at Manor Park PS, participated in a Principal Exchange to Sweden. Dan learned much about the educational system in Sweden and took note of the differences between the Swedish and Canadian systems as well as the shared pedagogies applied in both countries. In Dan’s words, “the days in Sweden were the best professional development I have ever had.” He greatly appreciated receiving an OCENET International Education Bursary to assist with the trip expenses.
Information on eligibility and the application process for the OCENET International Education Bursary can be found at the OCENET website.
