Swedish schools?

Thank you all for fixing up this article so nicely. I thought about rephrasing a minor detail, the bit about Swedish schools being required to teach the classics, because it sounded so downbeat — you know, as if teaching the classics is a burden. But when I checked to see how the source had put it, I couldn't find any basis for the sentence Besides making Swedish literature freely available anywhere in the world, the project is also beneficial to those with funding limitations, such as Swedish schools, which are required to teach classic literature. I suppose I've missed it. All I see is a sentence in the DN article about universities and colleges being particularly strapped for cash around the time the project was founded, but that's not a lot to do with the statement in the article. I don't see anything about schools, or the läroplan (=what's "required" in schools: the curriculum). Can anybody point to where it is? Meanwhile, I've commented out the sentence.

Yes, in my haste to rescue this from oblivion, I made an elementary translation error, reading högskolorna in the newspaper article as "high schools" rather than "institutions of higher education". I was led astray by tvungna, which is indeed alarmingly strong for literary classics! As you see, the "all over the world" is taken from the following paragraph there - I may have also overweighted that, since the sources don't dwell on that issue that outside Sweden, much of this material has been hard to get. Please continue modifying as you see best, and feel free to trout me if you wish. Yngvadottir (talk) 16:56, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

Haha, I'll footfish you. I've added a little about the new colleges in the early 2000s. Bishonen | talk 20:17, 23 June 2014 (UTC).
