<P align="justify"> The name for sch … <P align="justify"> The name for schools in Sweden intended for the children of nomadic Saami reindeer herders. The previously uncoordinated education of the Lapps f was reorganized in a reform of education in 1913, which was also known as the 'Lodge School Reform'. Behind the reform lay a segregationist policy, encapsulated in the slogan "A Lapp shall be a Lapp". In was intended that the children should be given an education that would not sever their connection with reindeer herding. It was thought that the children of nomads did not need as broad and high a level of education as Swedish children. As a result, nomad schools, which followed the migrating reindeer herders, were created to replace the earlier Catechetical schools;. The reform was opposed by the Saami, for example in a Saami National Assembly in 1918, but in vain. Gradually, however, in the 1940s the pupils were transferred to village schools with permanent school buildings and dormitories. In the 1950s and 1960s, the nomad schools were gradually abandoned, and Saami education was integrated into the modern school system. The change-over was influenced by a report on the Nomad Schools, in which the Saami expert was Israel Ruong, a school inspector. This led to a committee report (SOU 1960:41) on the school attendance of Saami children which no longer regarded it as sensible educational policy to link the education of Saami children to one single occupation (reindeer husbandry). The tradition of the Nomad Schools was, however, continued by the Saami Schools, whose purpose was to satisfy the particular occupational, cultural and linguistic needs of the Saami.</P>d linguistic needs of the Saami.</P> +
