'Swedish only' at Landskrona school

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The principal of Landskrona's Gustav Adolf School is to introduce a new policy prohibiting the use of foreign languages on school premises. Almost half of the children at the school come from an immigrant background.

The rules are to be tightened following the expulsion of 6 pupils and the suspension of 22 others from the school in the southern Swedish town.

When leftover fireworks from the recent new year's celebrations exploded inside the school on Thursday, health and safety representative Leif Paulsson ordered the school's immediate closure.

The incident followed reports of boys urinating in girls' shoes, as well as repeated bullying and beatings on school premises.

The only exception to the new rule is the teaching of foreign languages. Otherwise only Swedish will be tolerated.

"This means that pupils may speak only Swedish in the classroom and in the corridors. This applies even when they are speaking to each other.

"We are doing this so that others will not be able to think that they are saying anything insulting," principal Patrik Helgesson told newspaper Helsingborgs Dagblad."
