Special education in primary schools
Statistics Finland conducts the separate data collection “Questionnaire on special education in primary schools” commissioned by the Ministry of Education and Culture, because the current
legislation on the Koski database does not allow all essential data regarding support in learning and school attendance to be stored in the database.
The inquiry collects data on comprehensive school pupils receiving intensified and special support on 20 September 2023, as well as part-time special needs education in comprehensive schools for the school year 2022 to 2023.
The data needed for calculating central government transfers to local government are retrieved from the Koski database.
