Local Educational Governance

3
00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:23.180
The green boxes in the slide 24
refer to the local authorities,

4
00:00:23.180 --> 00:00:25.920
which is the focus in this video.

5
00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:31.492
Local authorities are the main
education providers of early childhood

6
00:00:31.492 --> 00:00:37.370
pre-school, comprehensive
and upper secondary education.

7
00:00:37.370 --> 00:00:44.110
However, there are also a lot of private
day care centres and a few independent,

8
00:00:44.110 --> 00:00:48.510
comprehensive and general
upper secondary schools.

9
00:00:48.510 --> 00:00:55.740
Vocational education is typically
provided by municipal consortia.

10
00:00:55.740 --> 00:01:01.100
Only the largest cities have
their own vocational schools.

11
00:01:01.100 --> 00:01:06.440
Furthermore, there are
private vocational schools.

12
00:01:06.440 --> 00:01:10.340
Higher education institutes
have various legal organisation

13
00:01:10.340 --> 00:01:14.860
forms, all with significant autonomy.

14
00:01:14.860 --> 00:01:19.760
Finland is not uniform in relation
to its education providers,

15
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:24.210
although the bulk consists
of local authorities.

16
00:01:24.210 --> 00:01:32.330
Local authorities, this is Finnish
municipalities, have constitutional autonomy.

17
00:01:32.330 --> 00:01:40.300
As to their governance, legislation obligates
them to have the municipal council, executive

18
00:01:40.300 --> 00:01:47.500
election and inspection board, as well
as the municipal director or mayor.

19
00:01:47.500 --> 00:01:54.980
Otherwise, they can determine their governance
autonomously in their local ordinances, which

20
00:01:54.980 --> 00:02:01.700
in addition to their annual plans
and evaluation reports, are mandatory.

21
00:02:01.700 --> 00:02:07.190
In practise, all municipalities have
their municipal education boards,

22
00:02:07.190 --> 00:02:11.540
education offices and
directors of education.

23
00:02:11.540 --> 00:02:18.960
What these do, how many they are, and
what they are called varies significantly.

24
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:27.060
Slide 25 on my own home city, the
city of Jyväskylä offers one example.

25
00:02:27.060 --> 00:02:33.090
It is noteworthy that government 
subsidies for education to local authorities

26
00:02:33.090 --> 00:02:38.313
are not earmarked, but 
their use is decided locally too.
