Swedish Council for Higher Education

The Swedish Council for Higher Education (Swedish: Universitets- och högskolerådet, abbreviated UHR) is a Swedish government agency organized under the Ministry of Education and Research assigned to manage admissions to Swedish universities and university colleges, applications and development of the Swedish Scholastic Aptitude Test, and evaluate foreign qualifications. Additionally, the agency has a responsibility to provide objective information and stimulate interest in higher education. The agency is also tasked with auditing, works to prevent discrimination, and is the national agency for EU and other international programmes for the education sector.[1][2][3][4][5]

History

The Swedish Agency for Higher Education Services (Swedish: Verket för högskoleservice, VHS) and the International Programme Office for Education and Training (Swedish: Internationella programkontoret för utbildningsområdet) was succeeded by UHR in January 2013.[6] UHR also took over parts of the responsibilities previously held by the National Agency for Higher Education (Swedish: Högskoleverket).[7]

gollark: That feature broke a while ago, causing a cascading failure which somehow broke Incident Reports, after the random webservice it relied on was annoying.
gollark: PotatOS actually reimplements (partly) the bug with string metatables, even.
gollark: Anyway, it'll be also reparsed for every single "call" of the "lambda" unless Lua does caching internally, so... no.
