The education system plays a crucial role for every child's chances in life. Every child has the right to acquire the tools and values necessary to explore the world around her and to meet the demands of society.
To achieve this we are carrying out reforms in our education system that focus on knowledge and a commitment to quality.
We want the primary mission of the education system to be to convey knowledge. Every child must be given opportunities to achieve the basic goals in all subjects.

and a bit below that:
If exclusion from the labour market is our national challenge, the issue of the climate and the environment is the global challenge.
Global warming is for real. It's already happening. No one these days can be left unaffected by the reports or pictures. The reports and pictures that show us the serious consequences that lie in store for our planet and for future generations, if we do not succeed better in formulating a policy for sustainable development in the long term.
Sweden has a long tradition of taking an active and assertive role where environment policy is concerned. This is a tradition that Sweden intends to live up to and to do so with renewed vigour. At the same time, we are clear about the fact that the response to climate change requires a new political impulse.
After long having allowed environmental policy to be coloured by political deals involving regulations and non-growth policies, we see it as our task to create broad agreement around a new climate policy.

Swedish social democracy has functioned well since the 1930's. Currently, after four years of the conservative government, it still has much more social welfare and benefits than the U.S., including free universal health care. You have to appreciate the PM's comments in that context, not in the American context where "socialism" currently refers to "having nonzero taxes".
