Altistusjaksoa

Altistusjaksoa is a Finnish term that translates to "high school" or "upper secondary school" in English. It refers to the secondary education system in Finland, which is divided into two main stages: lower secondary education (lukio) and upper secondary education (ammatillinen oppilaitos).

Upper secondary education in Finland typically takes place after completing compulsory education at the age of 16. Students can attend either general upper secondary schools (lukio) or vocational upper secondary schools (ammatillinen oppilaitos), the latter of which focus on providing students with practical skills in a specific trade or profession. The upper secondary education system in Finland is designed to provide students with a solid foundation in both theoretical and practical knowledge, as well as the skills necessary to pursue further education or enter the workforce.

The curriculum for upper secondary education in Finland includes a range of subjects, including mathematics, science, languages, social sciences, and physical education. Students also have the opportunity to take elective courses and participate in extracurricular activities, such as sports, music, and art programs.

Upper secondary education in Finland is generally free for Finnish citizens, as well as for students from the European Union, the European Economic Area, and Switzerland. Students from other countries may be required to pay tuition fees, unless they are exempt due to diplomatic or international agreements.

The upper secondary education system in Finland is highly regarded for its emphasis on equality, accessibility, and student-centered learning. The system is designed to provide students with the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in an increasingly complex and rapidly changing world.
