Educational policy and immigration
By immigrants we mean refugees, migrants, remigrants, other foreigners and asylum
seekers.(The National Board of Education in Finland)
Educational policy and immigration
• rights based on the Equality Act• preparatory instruction (one year)• young immigrants (7-17+) have got a similar
right to basic and further education as Finns• instruction of Finnish/Swedish (S2), 3h/week• instruction of pupil’s mother tongue, 1h/week• assistants during lessons• special education• curricula of S2 and mother tongue, other
subjects according to the general curriculum
Situation in bigger towns
• several preparatory classes• Finnish and Swedish as second language
teachers and –classes• assistants more easily available• interpreters used e.g. in cooperation
between school and home• coordinating teachers • pupils with different backgrounds in the
same class (+/- ?)
Situation in Hyökkälä school• 20 immigrant pupils in Tuusula• 6 immigrant pupils in Hyökkälä school • no S2 instruction separately• classes 1-6: teacher of special education and class teacher give one
S2 lesson per week each • classes 7-9: teacher of Finnish as a mother tongue tries to
differentiate during the ordinary mother tongue and litterature lessons
• there is no mother tongue instruction for the immigrant pupils (8-10 pupils per language required for a separate group in Tuusula)
• pupils participate ordinary classes in different subjects (taught in Finnish)
• problems in Tuusula are similar to the ones in rural areas and smaller towns; it’s up to the municipality to decide how to organise instruction for immigrants
