In his late summer speech held at Hornbergs Strand in Stockholm, Demirok called the "hard pass limit" one of the school's biggest mistakes.
Demirok describes Sweden as the EU country that every year fails the most students in school and that Sweden fails ten times as many as Denmark or Finland.
In ten years, over 160,000 young people have left elementary school without complete grades. It's a betrayal that's hard to grasp, says Demirok.
Proposals in the same line
To be eligible for the vocational programs in upper secondary school, you currently need to have passed grades in Swedish or Swedish as a second language, English, and mathematics, and in at least five other subjects from elementary school.
Should your knowledge of algebra or French grammar decide whether you get to work with children in preschool or in elderly care? asks Demirok.
At the end of last year, the party's spokesperson for education policy said that the C wants to abolish the eligibility requirements for vocational programs.
"Not closing any doors"
What we're saying clearly this time is that we need to reform the entire grading system from the ground up, says Demirok.
Exactly how the system will be designed and whether the current A-F grading scale will remain is yet to be seen.
I'm not closing any doors at this point for how it will look, says Demirok.
Corrected: An earlier version contained an incorrect statement about which upper secondary schools were affected.
