The Swedish National Agency for Education is the central administrative authority for the Swedish public school system for children, young people and adults, as well as for preschool activities and child care for school children. The role of the National Agency for
Education in the Swedish education system is to define goals in order to administrate, to inform in order to influence and to review in order to improve. The National Agency for Education audits preschool activities, care for school children, schools and adult education in many different ways.
Regardless of the method, however, the focus is always on asserting the right of each individual to knowledge and personal development.
