The new national core curricula now available in English

The new Finnish core curricula for pre-primary education, for basic education and for general upper secondary schools are now accessible to the international reader. They are available in English in print, and the digital publications are due to be released in August.

The Finnish National Board of Education draws up the national core curricula for pre-primary education, basic education, general upper secondary education and basic education in the arts, as well as the curricula for preparatory education for immigrants and morning and afternoon activities for school children.

The curricula set out the key objectives, content and policies of education. The national core curricula create a progressive continuum in a coherent way and provide a strong basis for lifelong learning. Education providers and schools draw up their own local curricula based on the national curricula.
