Reactions at Per Brahe High School after the school attack in Fagersta

The news of the school attack in Fagersta has elicited varied reactions among the students at Per Brahegymnasiet in Jönköping whom SVT interviewed. Some describe feelings of anxiety and new questions, while others say they still feel safe in their daily school life.

“It felt a bit strange, but I think we have good security at the school,” says Ella Berner.

On Monday, the police increased their presence at schools and were available to answer questions.

Security reviewed

Erik Nilsson, Jönköping Municipality’s Director of Education, says that schools will primarily offer support to students, with both teachers and student welfare staff available to talk. Regarding school security, the municipality carried out extensive work following the school shooting in Örebro last year.

“At that time, we developed a package that all schools were expected to implement. This included staff training, analysis of which doors were left open, and similar measures,” says Erik Nilsson.
