Educational politics

The following issues are just some of the many that we tackle everyday:

• The laws and rules of the education
• The educational system in Finland (and in Europe)
• The structure of degrees  (especially in higher education)
• University financing
• International educational politics
• The respect of teaching in universtities

The educational sector works together with the student unions and provides education, information and all kind of support the local unions need.

At the moment there are two full-time employees and two members of the board working in the educational sector. If you need any information, don't hesitate to contact Juhana Harju or Jarmo Kallunki from the secretariat or Jukka Vornanen or Juha Töyrylä from the board.
