Sfi på entreprenad?
(2003)School of Social Work
- Abstract
- This essay is a study about "Sfi", Swedish language education for immigrants.

We divided our interview questions into four themes, language learning, quality, students’ motivation and public/private. The conclusion of the study is that we found that the reason for the privatization of Sfi was that the result of the public organizer was so bad that a change was inevitable. The big difference between the public and the private organizer was that the owner and the teachers at NK-Datacenter had a remarkable commitment towards their work and the students. We believe that the reason for this is the small organization, which encourages fresh ideas and participation in decision-making. Although we found some differences between the public and the private organizer we believe that the main issue isn’t what alternative you choose, the main thing is that there is a competitive situation that improves and modernize the education.
