Koulukohtaisten

Koulukohtaisten is an inflected Finnish adjective form derived from koulukohtainen, meaning “pertaining to a school” or “school-specific.” The form koulukohtaisten is used when the accompanying noun is in the genitive plural, indicating that the things being described relate to multiple schools or to a group of schools.

Usage of the term appears mainly in education policy, administrative language, and academic writing. It is used to describe provisions, rules, programs, or practices that apply to one or more schools or that distinguish school-specific measures from general ones. For example, phrases such as koulukohtaisten sääntöjen laatiminen (the drafting of school-specific rules) or koulukohtaisten ohjeiden noudattaminen (compliance with school-specific guidelines) are common in official documents and reports.

Morphology and related forms: the base form is koulukohtainen. In plural nominative, the adjective becomes koulukohtaiset (koulukohtaiset säännöt). In genitive plural, as noted, it becomes koulukohtaisten (koulukohtaisten sääntöjen). Finnish adjectives are declined to agree with the noun in number and case, so other forms of the same adjective exist for different grammatical contexts (e.g., nominative singular koulukohtainen, partitive forms, etc.).

In usage, koulukohtaisten typically signals that the described items are specific to particular schools, rather than being universal across the education system. See also related compounds such as koulukohtainen, koulukohtaiset, and phrases like koulukohtaiset käytännöt.
