The Quality and Follow-up Unit is part of the Development and Quality Division within Uppsala Municipality's central Education Administration. Here, we work on monitoring and analyzing school activities in the municipality, coordinating state grant applications to the Swedish National Agency for Education, and managing teacher students' work-based training at schools.

You will prepare documentation for the Education Committee and produce reports and analyses for individual or groups of schools and preschools. An important part of the assignment is creating clear and pedagogical visualizations of results and statistics. The work also involves working with the municipality's databases and systems, participating in their development, and ensuring data management quality. You will work with information about grades, absence, survey results, school choice, and placements. You will work both independently and in collaboration with other business analysts. The role involves a significant amount of practical work in Excel and programming in R and Python, which are natural tools in daily work. To succeed in the assignment, it is important that you enjoy collaborating, sharing knowledge, and finding solutions together with others.
