Children and education


Umeå, like other Swedish municipalities, has a legal obligation to provide educational opportunities for its inhabitants. The Pre-school and Compulsory School Committee has overall responsibility for pre-school and basic, compulsory education, while the Upper Secondary and Adult Education Committee has overall responsibility for subsequent upper secondary school and adult education.
Education services in Umeå are provided by two municipal administrations: the Pre-school and Compulsory School Administration and the Upper Secondary Schools Administration . The Holmsund/Obbola, Hörnefors and Sävar municipal districts have their own local administrative units for pre-school and compulsory education.
The Pre-school and Compulsory School Administration is responsible for the implementation of all pre-school and compulsory school services in Umeå.
The Upper Secondary Schools Administration is responsible for the implementation of all upper secondary and adult education services in the Umeå municipality.
