anyways here's what the OECD/PISA has to say (so far) about Sweden's 2018 data:
>Sweden had the highest exclusion rate: 11.07%. It is believed that this increase in the exclusion rate was due to a large and temporary increase in immigrant and refugee inflows, although because of Swedish data-collection laws, this could not be explicitly stated in student-tracking forms. Instead, students confronted with language barriers were classified as being excluded “for other reasons”, as were students with intellectual and functional disabilities. It is expected that the exclusion rate will decrease to previous levels in future cycles of PISA, as such inflows stabilise or shrink
>The preliminary attribution of school codes in the process of selecting, and then excluding, students and schools may have resulted in the double exclusion (at both the school and student levels) of some of the students with special education needs in Sweden. As a result, the overall exclusion rate in Sweden may have been overestimated by (at most) 0.5 of a percentage point. In this scenario, the overall exclusion rate would still be over 10% and the highest amongst PISA-participating countries/economies.

more information will be available once the Technical Report is fully released
