Sweden is a country that has received immigrants from all over the world continuously through the years and the number of immigrants continues to increase. The number of newly arrived pupils in the Swedish school has become more common today. Some schools still have a preparatory class for the newly arrived pupils and some schools have decided to repeal the preparatory class in their school. The purpose with this paper is to study what teachers and a school counselor thinks about their work with newly arrived pupils in preparatory class and in ordinary class. The school has two duties: an educational task and social responsibility towards newly arrived pupils. The school also has a responsibility to receive newly arrived pupils in a good way and give them the education they are entitled to. The result of the study is based on interviews with four teachers and one school counselor in two different schools who all have experience or works with newly arrived pupils in some way. One of the schools still have preparatory class and the other school have repealed the preparatory class in their school. The result of the study shows that the teachers and the school counselor feels that there are both advantages and disadvantages of placing the newly arrived pupils in preparatory class and ordinary class. They feel that it can be a challenge to succeed in both the educational task and the social responsibility. All the interviewees says that they wish there were more resources and support for the newly arrived pupils so that the pupils can get better conditions for a good education and a social life at school.
