The new upper secondary educational system in Sweden was introduced in the autumn of 1992 and will be completed by 1995. The Swedish upper secondary educational system consists of more than 30 lines and more than 100 special courses at present. But the present system is being changed into 16 national programs. Social Science and Natural Science are for university entrance, while the other 14 are vocational. I want to study the special feature of the 14 vocational programs and the comparative education between Japan and Sweden. The concrete ideas of Swedish system are as follows; 1. Equal rights to education throughout the country. 2. Young people (up to 20) have the right to have the upper secondary education, after that, municipalities have an obligation to provide them with adult education (vocational courses are popular among them). 3. Sixteen 3-year educational programs for all students. 4. Harmony both in general and in vocational subjects. 5. A more flexible system with scope for locally determined study profiles. 6. At least 15% of vocational programs allocated to work places. 7. Individual programs oriented towards apprentice training and vocational training. 8. The reform will be financed extra cost of 1.8billion SEK." These reforms will be carried out by changing the marking system and intensifying teachers training and study. The relative system of marks on a 5-point scale, currently employed in both compulsory and upper secondary school, with 5 the maximum obtainable and 3 the average award, is to be superseded by goal-related marks. Marks in upper secondary school will be awarded on a 4-point scale: Excellent, Passed with Distinction, Passed and Failed. The final award will be a aggregation of all the marks received by the student during their upper secondary career. Service-in teachers in vocational subjects are requested to have more training hours than the present on advanced economics and technology. In conclusion, as we consider our new curriculum on the vocational education, we should be interested in some point of the educational reform in Sweden. For example, there are some differences on computer education between in Japan and in Sweden. Swedish education places stress on the computer education to deep knowledge. But I couldn't find the concrete contents about it in context of reforms of upper secondary education. Secondly, we should study a vocational training system, an apprentice training, and project works in Sweden, comparing Japanese educational system with Swedish. Swedish educational reforms will be continued in the future, because Sweden wants to take part in the EC market. The Swedish economy and society needs to adjust to the EC. And so, big changes in educational reform will come to Sweden again.
