Koulukohtaiset

Koulukohtaiset is a Finnish adjective meaning school-specific or pertaining to a particular school. It is formed from the noun koulu (school) and the adjective kohtainen (pertaining to, relevant to) and takes the standard -inen ending. In plural usage it is koulukohtaiset and it agrees with the noun it modifies.

The term is commonly used in Finnish educational administration and policy contexts to describe information, rules, materials, or decisions that apply to a specific school rather than to all schools. It contrasts with more general, district-wide, or national references. For example, koulukohtaiset tiedot refers to data that are specific to a single school, koulukohtaiset säännöt to school-specific regulations, and koulukohtaiset opetussuunnitelmat to school-specific curricula.

Common phrases include koulukohtaiset tiedot, koulukohtaiset opetusmenetelmät, koulukohtaiset aikataulut, and koulukohtaiset valintamenettelyt. The form is also used in singular contexts as koulukohtainen (for example, koulukohtainen suunnitelma).

Nuances and usage notes: koulukohtaiset typically imply differences or adaptations that exist between different schools, rather than uniform national standards. The term is widely understood in Finnish education discourse and can be found in official documents, reports, and policy discussions when distinguishing school-level specifics from broader references.
