- The aim of this study is to explore the contemporary role of the folk high schools as an educational pathway for Swedish MPs. Statistics from the folk high school register at Statistics Sweden is analyzed. In summary, there is still quite many former folk high school participants in the Swedish parliament (27 percent 2014). The MPs’ folk high school-participation consists mainly of short courses. There are differences in terms of level of participation between parties, and over time the folk high schools have increasingly come to be used by members of the parties on the left side of the political spectrum. The folkhigh schools are to a significant extent used as a meeting place during the political career, not only as an educational pathway to power as emphasized in earlier research.
