I am too arrogant of the come to an end education system and its presentation. Our nationwide plan is based on a high stage of teaching and R&D (investigate and growth). We have made a particular attempt to increase the expansion of the essential communications and know-how, so that we are able to meet the expectations of the rising knowledge-based financial system.

In the 1990s we implemented main reforms in our learning system and carried out an unusual asset course in R&D. Nowadays, we spend almost seven per cent on the education scheme. These are very high figures by global standards, and the administration is committed to ongoing this rule.

Our superior teaching system is quite big: we have 20 universities and 29 polytechnics, plus 65 per cent of the age group begins studies at higher teaching institutions. These figures demonstrate our promise to raising the height of education of the whole inhabitants.

In Finland, polytechnics are newcomers to the higher education picture. The organization was created several years ago with a sight to raising the height of occupational education and training and to accepting the needs of the more and more heterogeneous student inhabitants. The polytechnics were formed from post-secondary occupational institutions, which were upgraded to higher teaching stage following a direct phase and an exact external assessment. These days I would say that the polytechnics form an essential part of our high-quality higher teaching structure.

The primary act plan to increase internationalization in Finnish university education was devised at the end of the 1980s. At that time we were able to assign additional financial support to building up the managerial communications needed to be careful of both outgoing and inward students. We as well earmarked finances for the growth of English-language programs at universities and polytechnics. At present, I am very satisfied to state that all our higher education institutions suggest programs in English for the advantage of international students.
