Education minister “confident” Finland will introduce English-language matriculation exam by 2028<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The upper secondary exam is currently only available in Finnish or Swedish, but there has been growing demand to offer some high school students the option of taking it in English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Could some high school seniors don their white graduation caps in the future after taking the matriculation exam in English?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it comes to fruition, a proposal now going through parliament could see an expansion in English-language high school provision by 2026 in some cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That would resolve a key issue in the education of kids from mixed or foreign backgrounds, who can go through the Finnish schooling system in English up until the age of 16 \u2014 but face drastically reduced options<\/a> at that stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first step in expanding that range of options is making sure they will be allowed to take the matriculation exam from Upper Secondary school in English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Education Minister Anders Adlercreutz<\/strong> (SPP) told Yle News he wants to take that step. If his legislation is approved by parliament, high schools would be in a position to begin offering a curriculum in English by the autumn of 2026, and the first-ever matriculation exam in English would be available two years later \u2014 by the autumn of 2028.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
