Description
UGU stands for "Evaluation Through Follow-up" and is one of the country's largest research study in the field of education, the country's largest survey of schools. As part of the national evaluation of the school, our study contributes with nationally representative data that can be linked to other databases. Researchers in psychology, economics, political science and pedagogy use our longitudinal data to know more about the Swedish school system and the labour market.
Today, UGU's working group consists of 10 people who work to varying degrees with the management, planning and development of the study. Metadata is available as codebooks on the website and increases the accessibility of data for interested researchers. Metadata increases the searchability and reuse of data in accordance with the FAIR principles.
