Väla School comes from Västergötland and is an example of the vast number of schools that were built in the Swedish countryside in the middle of the 19th century. Parliament had passed a law in 1842 requiring school attendance on the part of all children in Sweden. There was to be a school in every parish and qualified teachers were to be employed to teach the children. Initially, schooling lasted for six years.

ja tänk vad de gamla skolorna var vackra egentligen, vi har en gammal skola här i byn men den brann ner så det finns bara gamla slöjd salen kvar. Men den återuppbyggdes i ny tappning och är bygdegård idag. det var skolor i varje liten by, många av dessa är bygdegårdar eller så är dom borta helt.
fina bild, gillar bildvinkeln..
ha en skön dag

Flott skole! Har sansen for slikt. Men man får jo aldri fri fra å lære i livets skole!

Ja de er litt merkelige, juletrær på pinne. Kanskje våre Svenske venner kan fortelle om det er en tradisjon i Sverige?

Det er slik en skole bør se ut spør du meg, dagens modernisering er ikke bare positivt. Kjempeflott bilde derfra!

Flott skule og eit flott bilde! Er ikkje ofte ein ser slike skular i dag, veldig sjeldan faktisk. Ville tru det hadde vore inspirerande å jobbe og lære i eit slikt bygg.

En alle tiders vinkel du har valgt for dette bildet!!
Håper virkelig de gamle skolebygningene av dette slaget som fremdeles står blir godt tatt vare på.
