„During the school year 2016/2017, 15 % of comprehensive school students in Sweden attended a free school. Free schools, which are licensed by the Swedish National Schools Inspectorate, can be established by a broad variety of actors, including non-profit and for-profit organisations. […] In 2016 the two largest Swedish education companies, AcadeMedia and the English school, were listed on the Stockholm stock exchange. In 2013 one of the biggest school chains in Sweden went bankrupt, overnight leaving thousands of students without schools.“
