- Summary:
-
Part I of this report outlines the organization and structure of all levels of education in Finland. Part II traces the development of education from 1974-76 regarding policy, legislation, and educational research. Principles, admission requirements, curricula and financing of compulsory, secondary and higher education are described. The basic structure comprises nine years' compulsory education followed by senior secondary or vocational and technical schooling. Both tracts may lead to institutes of higher learning. At the compulsory level free materials, health services, and school meals are provided. Decisions on educational policy are handled on a national level and administrated on provincial and municipal levels. Adult education, "folk high schools" and workers' institutes are described as other forms of formal education. Educational developments aim at a smooth transition between secondary and higher education, both administratively and educationally. Changes in higher education relate to degree reform and regional development of higher education. New legislation calls for the promotion of vocational education. Teacher training has been transferred into institutes of higher learning. Charts illustrate the structure of the educational system, the distribution of student population, and the allocation of funding. (KC)
