1940 School Inquiry (Swedish: 1940 års skolutredning)[1] was appointed in Sweden in 1940 by the then Minister of Ecclesiastical Affairs Gösta Bagge.
The purpose was to increase the number of students in higher education in rural areas of Sweden, as well as among low-income groups, such as children from working-class families and farm families.
At this time, it was mainly children from high-income families who attended secondary schools.
The investigation was succeeded by the 1946 School Commission.
