Every school unit in Sweden has a unique
school unit code (skolenhetskod, 8 digits) in the
school unit register. The code is used to
link statistics from different data sources to the correct school.
Use
The school unit code is the key that makes it possible to combine data from the National
Agency for Education's grade statistics, staffing statistics, the School Survey, and other
sources. Skolkoll uses the school unit code to match data to each school page.
Frequently asked questions
What is a school-unit code (skolenhetskod)?
A school-unit code is a unique identifier for a school unit in Skolverket's register. It is used to link data and statistics to the right school.
Is the school-unit code the same as an organisation number?
No. The school-unit code identifies the school unit itself. The organisation number identifies the operator (huvudman) or legal entity behind the activity.
Can one school have several school-unit codes?
Yes. If the activity is divided into several school units or school forms, several codes can occur, even if the school is known by a single name in everyday use.
