    As schoolchildren are starting their well-earned summer holiday, it is appropriate to take a look at schools in the series ‘monthly figure’.

    In 2019, there were 14 comprehensive schools in Finland that had more than 1,000 pupils. There were 11 municipalities with such schools.

    This and many other pieces of information are available in our new report on the education sector. The report presents cost and participation data on early childhood education and care, pre-primary education and basic education.
