•
The upper secondary school reform will be implemented.
The aim is to
increase the attractiveness of upper secondary school education as a form
of general education that gives students an opportunity to continue to
universities, to strengthen the quality of education, learning outcomes and
makes it easier to move from upper secondary level of education to a higher
level of education.
15 million euros will be allocated for supporting the implementation of
the vocational education reform in 2018 and 2019.
The money is used
for digitizing the working processes of vocational education according to its
aims, for preventing dropping out and marginalisation.
The ministry is also prepared to capitalise the
knowledge centre
that owns
and maintains learning environments and tools of vocational education or
other company by 80 million euros in total.
