The inquiry of this study is to describe how the changing in the Swedish School System correspond to the national strat-egy for implementation of UN Convention on the Rights of the Child in Sweden and how the political protagonists.</p><p>I have read some of the most relevant documents from the authorities and organisations work-ing with children’s rights in Sweden and papers and communications from the political pro-tagonists.</p><p>Since UN Convention on the Rights of the Child was ratified by Sweden in 1990 the work for implementation has been quite successful but there are still lots to do. There are still some problems in School such as bullying, insulting, insecurity and lack of peaceful and harmoni-ous school environment. That is the political actors quite agree this but the have different so-lutions of the problems. The Social democratic party wants more adults in schools to guaran-tee a peaceful and harmonious school environment and the non-socialist Alliance wants clear roles and increased authority for teachers to create order in schools.</p><p>Keywords: UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, education, the national strategy, the Social democratic party, the non-socialist Alliance.</p>
