Questionnaire on students

Statistics Finland collects data on the addresses and numbers of students of educational
institutions on 20 September 2023 through providers of education. The data collection
letter is sent to providers of education that organise the data collection for their educational institutions.

The numbers of students are collected only for education for which data are not available from the Koski database. The data collection is specific for each educational institution and it is responded to by comprehensive schools, upper secondary general schools, vocational institutions, music colleges, sports education centres, folk high schools, adult education centres, study centres and summer universities.

The collected data are used to update the addresses and numbers of students in Statistics Finland's register of educational institutions.
