Eila Westerlund wrote that in her opinion the limit was crossed if the National Agency for Education gave students dress guidelines. She criticized the idea that one should not dress too revealingly so that those who had moved from elsewhere in Finland would not be offended. According to Westerlund, there were no dress restrictions in Finland, and in her opinion, they could not be imposed especially by those who had come here to live with the support of others. #pukeutuminen #koulutus #suomi (translated)

Heikki Pursiainen wrote that the tests themselves did not improve learning outcomes, but according to him, they could be used to determine which measures were effective and what should be focused on. He assessed that if effective means were already known, they would have already been implemented.

Jussi Mäkinen wrote that Finnish immigration discussion, in his experience, had focused on the need for workers in low-paying jobs and funding for the pension system. He criticized that councilor Meri was condemned for speaking about what she thought. Mäkinen also pondered whether conclusions could be drawn from the names of those accepted into the Swedish-speaking medical faculty. Mäkinen criticized Marin's government's decision to raise the compulsory schooling age to 18. According to him, the reform had provided state-funded textbooks and school transportation for upper middle-class high school students, but at the same time enrolled youths in education who might not attend classes. He mentioned hearing from acquaintances in vocational schools in the capital region that, for example, selected students in electrical studies had not showed up for school even after the second academic year had started. Mäkinen also claimed that educational institutions received funding based on the names on student lists, even if the student did not show up. Mäkinen wrote that the proportion of those completing secondary education had risen from about 77.9 percent to 79.4 percent among those young people who turned 20 by the spring of that year. He challenged Meri to publish a positive update when the students on the list would have graduated. Mäkinen estimated that nearly 90 percent of those accepted to high school had Finnish backgrounds and nearly 90 percent of those accepted to vocational schools had immigrant backgrounds. He also shared that his friend, a Master's degree holder in business sciences who had come to Finland as a refugee from Kosovo, had said that they had learned better Finnish on a football team than in a classroom with immigrant-background students. Finally, Mäkinen reminded of a previous discussion where it was deemed important to transfer Finnish children from their local school to a school where the majority of students belonged to the S2 language group. He wrote that the backgrounds of the names on vocational school student lists could not yet be discussed. #maahanmuutto #koulutus #suomi (translated)

According to the author, educational institutions should no longer publish student lists online, as the names of minors were used for, in his opinion, racist politics without consent. He accused the National Coalition Party and Otto Merja of this and stated that the party had strongly endorsed the actions. He also mentioned the National Coalition Party in Helsinki. #opiskelijat #yksityisyys #koulutus #FI (translated)

Otto Meri stated that he had posted an update on social media the previous evening regarding the student selections of the Stadin vocational school under the City of Helsinki. He wrote that based on the names published on the city's website, over 90 percent of those selected in this year's joint application process for several educational programs were of foreign background. Meri mentioned that he included four screenshots in the update to illustrate this proportion and not to highlight individual students. Meri noted that he observed in the morning that the names of the selected students had been removed from the city's website, and he decided to delete his own post as well. He assessed the inclusion of names in the update as thoughtless, even though the information had been public. Meri said that studying is sensible regardless of background, but he expressed concern about the increasing proportion of students with foreign backgrounds becoming too large in some schools. He compared this situation to the segregation he observed in Helsinki's primary schools and believed it was the responsibility of decision-makers to prevent inequality and excessive differentiation among schools and classes. #koulutus #monimuotoisuus #integraatio (translated)

Jussi Halme wrote that the core task of the National Agency for Education, with about 400 staff, should be to know what is happening in Finnish education. He asked whether something should not be accomplished with an annual budget of 30 million euros. #koulutus #opetus #Suomi (translated)

The author wrote that Finland's PISA results had collapsed and that researchers said there was no proper information about the reasons. According to him, schools had implemented a digital leap, renewed curricula, and changed class arrangements without knowing their effects on learning. He described how children had thus become subjects of school experiments without sufficient knowledge of their impacts. #koulutus #Pisa #oppiminen #FI (translated)

Mikko questioned whether coming to study in Finland could be financially viable if it equals 100 months' net salary. He wrote that a middle-aged student living in Espoo from Sri Lanka had paid 12,000 euros for the opportunity to study in Finland without any grants. According to Mikko, the average monthly earnings in Sri Lanka were 125 euros, so he believed it would not be worthwhile for the student to return to their home country for work. Mikko compared this amount to the situation where he himself would pay 300,000 euros to study for a couple of years in the United States. He doubted that training to become sufficiently good at a job in a few years would make the investment worthwhile, especially if the money had been borrowed with interest. https://t.co/yttO6zqpcg #Opiskelu #Koulutus #Maahanmuutto (translated)
