At a press conference on Tuesday, party leader Ebba Busch presented the proposals in a ten-point program.
"We want to turn the discussion away from the form of operation," she said, referring to the heated debate over for-profit and independent schools (friskolor) in Sweden. "There are completely different things that determine whether a school succeeds in its basic mission."
One thing her party wants to do is introduce grade points for orderly behaviour. Busch said it should be investigated in which years the grades should be introduced, however, she is convinced that it will be beneficial for younger students in some form.
The party proposals also include increased possibilities for detention, for example, for students who repeatedly do not do their homework. According to party secretary Liza-Maria Norlin, teachers need more tools to be able to maintain order.
"We want to show that there are consequences when you don't do what you're supposed to do," she said.
The Christian Democrats also want to reduce screen use among younger students by abolishing individual tablets and computers, and introduce half an hour of cardiovascular exercise every school day.
The party would also like to establish so-called "no excuses" schools. This education model, which is taken from the US and England, is based on strict discipline and high demands. It often includes longer school days, teaching on Saturdays and compulsory summer school, as well as compulsory school uniforms - something that is currently against the Education Act.
"We want to be able to set dress code requirements. It's a way to strengthen the community," said party secretary Liza-Maria Norlin.
Another proposal is compulsory education, which means that those who have not learned what they are supposed to can be kept in primary school until the age of 18.
The Christian Democrats' ten school proposals:
1. No screens in schools and the teacher at the centre
2. Supplement compulsory schooling with compulsory learning
3. Restore order and responsibility
4. Introduce grades for orderly behaviour
5. Schools should be allowed to restore dress codes and school uniforms
6. Introduce half an hour of exercise every school day
7. Make good food part of "the knowledge mission"
8. Give cultural heritage "a natural place"
9. Parental contact at all schools
10. Introduce "no excuse" schools and community schools
