Slutföra gymnasiet - men sedan ska de ut!
Ett års frist där du ändå vet att du inte har någon framtid i Sverige, att du måste lämna allt och alla och bygga ett liv i främmande land. Ett litet köttben för att stoppa flodvågen av kritik. Ta inte köttbenet, håll trycket uppe!

One of the worst outcomes of grade inflation is that it discourages students pushing themselves. College should be about taking a class that's a bit too hard for you, or in a field you don't know much about... but the risk of a B when so many get straight As is real.

In the first keynote of the 2025 CEPR Paris Symposium, Philippe Aghion emphasised that while AI will induce job destruction, it will also bring job creation as it boosts the production of new ideas. The transition can be smoothed with strong education and flexicurity systems. #CEPRParis2025 #EconSky
