According to Chapter 7, Section 2 of the Swedish Education Act (2010:800), guardians of children residing in Sweden are required to ensure that their child attends school. Compulsory schooling in Sweden ceases when a child takes up permanent residence abroad. To determine whether compulsory schooling can be waived, guardians must contact the municipality. This applies when the family or the child will be living abroad on a permanent basis. The notification must be submitted to the Education Administration in Skövde Municipality before leaving Sweden.
