Education is one of the cornerstones of the Finnish welfare society. We pride ourselves on an educational system that offers equal opportunities for education for all. Education from pre-primary to higher education is free of charge in Finland. The new core curricula for pre-primary and basic education adopted in 2016 focus on learning, not steering. Finnish teachers are highly educated and strongly committed to their work.

The Finnish education system consists of:

Early childhood education and care supports the development, learning and wellbeing of a child

Early childhood education and care (ECEC) combines education, teaching and care in a systematic and goal-oriented manner. The goal of ECEC is to promote children's development, health and wellbeing as well as to improve children's opportunities for learning.

Local authorities, i.e. municipalities, are responsible for providing ECEC for children under school age. A client fee is charged for early childhood education and care. The fee is determined on the basis of the family's income and size and the time that the child spends in ECEC.

The National Curriculum Guidelines on Early Childhood Education and Care in Finland, approved by the Finnish National Agency for Education, guide the planning and implementation of the contents of ECEC and function as the basis for drawing up the local ECEC curricula.

Pre-primary education improves children's opportunities for learning

The goal of pre-primary education is to improve children's opportunities for learning and development. Pre-primary education plays an important part in the continuum stretching from early childhood education and care to basic education. Since 2015, participation in pre-primary education has been compulsory for all children in Finland. Pre-primary education is provided free of charge.

The person who has custody of a child must ensure that the child participates in pre-primary education or other corresponding activities meeting the objectives set for pre-primary education. The National Core Curriculum for Pre-Primary Education, approved by the Finnish National Agency for Education, guides the planning of the contents of pre-primary education and functions as the basis for drawing up the local curricula.

Basic education syllabus is completed in compulsory education

The nine-year basic education, or comprehensive school, is compulsory for all children aged between 7 and 16. Compulsory education begins in the year during which a child turns seven and ends when the basic education syllabus has been completed or when ten years have lapsed since the beginning of the compulsory education. Every child permanently residing in Finland must attend compulsory education.

Basic education is free of charge. Free school meals are also provided.

In 2015, there were around 2,500 schools providing basic education in Finland. Comprehensive schools are maintained by the local authorities (municipalities) and other education providers. Less than two per cent of comprehensive school pupils go to a private or state school.

General and vocational upper secondary education as alternatives after basic education

After completing the compulsory nine-year basic education, young people can choose to continue their educational track either in general upper secondary education or vocational education and training. The latter of these comprises vocational upper secondary qualifications, further vocational qualifications and specialist vocational qualifications.

General upper secondary education (lukio in Finnish) provides, as its name suggests, general education and it does not qualify the students for any particular occupation. At the end of the general upper secondary education, the students take a national matriculation examination. Those who pass the matriculation examination are eligible to apply for further studies at universities, universities of applied sciences and vocational institutions. General upper secondary education is designed so that it usually takes three years for students to complete it.

Persons with a completed vocational upper secondary qualification have the basic vocational skills in a particular field and the professional competence required in the practical work life. The scope of the qualification is 120 credits and it takes three years of full-time studies to complete it. After completing a vocational upper secondary qualification, it is possible to complete further and specialist vocational qualifications. Further and specialist vocational qualifications may be completed as competence-based qualifications, and preparatory training for these is provided.

Instruction in vocational institutions is very practical and designed to satisfy the needs of the labour market. On-the-job training at workplaces is an essential part of the studies. After completing a vocational qualification, a person may continue his or her studies in higher education.

Vocational education and training is publicly funded and mainly free of charge for the students (students must only pay for the textbooks and personal study equipment and materials).

Finnish higher education system comprises universities and universities of applied sciences

The mission of universities is to conduct scientific research and provide education based on it. Universities of applied sciences (UAS) provide more practical education that aims to respond to the needs of the labour market.

Universities, offering higher scientific and artistic education, award Bachelor's and Master's degrees as well as postgraduate degrees, i.e. licentiate and doctoral degrees. Universities of applied sciences award UAS Bachelor's degrees and UAS Master's degrees.

The target completion time for a Bachelor's degree at a university is three years and for a Master's degree two years on top of that. The completion of a UAS degree takes usually between 3.5 and 4.5 years. The requirement for Master's studies at a university of applied sciences is a UAS Bachelors' degree or another suitable degree and at least three years of work experience after the completion of the previous degree.

Adult education and training in the spirit of lifelong learning

Adult education and training encompasses education leading to a qualification, degree studies, training preparing for competence-based qualifications, apprenticeship training, further and continuing education updating and extending the professional skills, studies in subjects relating to citizenship skills, working life skills and society, and studies in different crafts and subjects on a recreational basis.

Adult education and training can either be paid for by the student himself or herself or it can be apprenticeship training, labour policy education, or staff-development and other training provided or purchased by employers.
Adult education and training is provided by educational institutions mainly providing education for young people, educational institutions providing only adult education, private companies, and workplaces (staff-development).
