If a country imports people with an IQ of 70, and let them inbreed this is what you get



The number of children with developmental disabilities is skyrocketing

Domestic. The number of students attending special education schools continues to increase, according to a report from the Swedish National Agency for Education, which states that just over 1.5 percent or 17,000 students are now placed in this type of school. But almost every other special education student has a foreign background and special education schools are now increasingly becoming special schools for developmentally disabled immigrants, the report shows.


In some municipalities, no increase is visible, but in 99 municipalities with predominantly immigrant populations, the proportion of students in special education schools has increased by more than 100 percent since 2011, according to the Swedish National Agency for Education.

Children with an immigrant background now make up 45 percent of students in special schools, so-called adapted primary schools, compared to 27 percent in regular primary schools. The increase has been faster among students with a foreign background than among students with a Swedish background.

The adapted primary school is for students with intellectual disabilities. The proportion of students has increased steadily since the asylum chaos of 2016/17.

– Adapted primary school is an opportunity for students with intellectual disabilities to receive an education adapted to their needs. However, only those students who, according to the Education Act, belong to the target group should be accepted into adapted primary school. Therefore, it is important to know more about what the increase in students in this type of school is due to, says Anders Widholm, department coordinator in the analysis department at the National Agency for Education.

The largest increase has occurred in municipalities where students are accepted earlier. Nowadays, over 40 percent of new students start already in grade 1.

"Low IQ countries"
The proportion of boys has also increased. Two-thirds of the students are boys, and they are often admitted earlier than girls.

– The results in our report give us a picture that the proportion of students in adapted primary school is increasing and that students are being accepted earlier, but we do not see any clear explanation for why. It is important that the reception in adapted primary school is done in an equal and legally secure manner. This is an important issue to continue to follow, says Anders Widholm.

However, not everyone shares the Swedish National Agency for Education's view that there is no explanation for why things look the way they do. For example, intelligence researcher Sture Eriksson warned back in 2015 that the then ongoing asylum chaos would lead to a significant expansion of special education, since the immigrants who came to Sweden had a significantly lower IQ level than Swedes.

"A large proportion of the students in the aforementioned nations thus have, by Western standards, a developmental disorder that means they must be taught in a special education class or in a special school. Among Swedish students, 2 percent are within this range, while 50 percent of immigrants from low-IQ countries are there," Eriksson wrote in a debate article on Fria Tider Debatt.
