This article is about education, school leadership and citizenship and highlights preschool teachers and teachers' perception of their educational leadership with the starting point taken in schools and preschools’ written policy, curriculum, school legislation, grading system and other policy documents aimed at teachers and preschool teachers. More precisely the aim is to show, analyse and discuss their perception of their ability to develop the skills young people need to obtain their learning goals. The result clearly shows that the matter of how newly-arrived children and young people in Sweden best can be integrated into our society is a real key issue for Swedish schools and preschools and also for the future of Sweden as a whole.
