No clear signs of changes in students’ reading comprehension

2026-04-01

Existing statistics show no clear signs that performance rate in higher education, measured as the proportion of completed credits, have changed in recent years. Nor are there any clear trends in reading comprehension among those who took the Swedish Scholastic Aptitude Test (SweSAT) during the years 2016–2024. Half of the teaching staff report that they are satisfied with the students’ reading and writing competence.
