Sweden's national curriculum for compulsory school, issued by the Skolverket (National Agency for Education) and taking effect in 2011, replacing the 1994 Lpo94 curriculum. It sets the fundamental values and tasks of the school, overall goals and guidelines, and syllabuses with core content and knowledge requirements for each subject, and has been periodically revised, including a 2022 update strengthening basic skills instruction in early grades.

Is Lgr11 still the name of the current Swedish compulsory school curriculum?
Skolverket now lists the curriculum as Lgr 22, so Lgr11 is the original 2011 edition.
The 2011 curriculum has been revised since it took effect, and the agency that issues it now uses a newer name. The Swedish National Agency for Education (Skolverket) lists the Curriculum for Compulsory School, Preschool Class and School-Age Educare under the designation Lgr 22 in its English language downloads, rather than Lgr 11. Lgr11 is therefore best read as the original 2011 edition of a text that Skolverket has updated, and anyone studying current Swedish practice should check the newest edition that Skolverket publishes.
