Questionnaire on special education and religion and worldview studies in basic education
The legislation on support for learning and school attendance provided in pre-primary and comprehensive education was reviewed starting from 1 August 2025. Statistics Finland carries out an inquiry on data that cannot be stored in the Koski database due to legislation. The data are collected on assignment of the Ministry of Education and Culture. The inquiry collects data on the teaching of religion and worldview studies provided in comprehensive education and in preparatory instruction and lower secondary education for adults and on support for learning given in comprehensive schools on 20 September 2026. In addition, data are collected on intensified personal guidance as well as on administrative classes and small groups. The inquiry is carried out towards the end of 2026.
