(If children are not in primary
school at age four (or older),
what kind of pre-school
curriculum structure exists?)
The National Core Curriculum is determined by the Finnish National Board of Education. It includes the
objectives and core contents of the various subjects, as well as the principles of pupil assessment, special
needs education, pupil welfare and educational guidance. The principles of a good learning environment,
working approaches as well as the concept of learning are also addressed in the core curriculum. The
current National Core Curriculum for basic education was confirmed in January 2004 and introduced in
schools in August 2006.
The National Core Curriculum is currently being reviewed; the review will be completed by the end of 2014.
New local curricula - based on the revised National Core Curriculum – are expected to be in place by the
beginning of the 2016-17 school year. A revised National Core Curriculum for basic education will be
introduced in 2016.
The Basic Education Act regulates the subjects included in the curriculum and student counselling. The
Government decides on the overall time allocation by defining the minimum number of lessons for core subjects during basic education. In Grades 1–6 (ages seven to 13) pupils usually receive the same
education, but schools may focus on different subjects in different ways due to the flexible time allocation.
In Grades 7–9 (ages 13-16), more optional subjects are included in the curriculum. The curriculum also
includes a workplace guidance period. Pupils‟ parents or carers (along with pupils) decide which of the
optional subjects on offer the pupil will take. (European Commission et al., 2013b)
