In this English episode of Sånt är livet i Sverige or That's life in Sweden Marika Andersson talks about working as a High-School Principal at a High-School Lövgärdet situated in a segregated area (Angered) in Göteborg, Sweden. The area is known for its high concentration of ethnic minorities, high unemployment, as well as problems with gangs and criminal activity. Despite couple of horrendous incidents such as an unsolved murder case of a teacher in 2017, and in 2020 a teacher was kidnapped (later released), the school, under Marika's leadership is experiencing an upward trend both in positive student learning outcomes and teacher retention.
