Perusperusteeseen

Perusperusteeseen is the illative form of the Finnish noun perusperuste, meaning the basic basis or fundamental foundation. In Finnish, illative forms convey direction toward or reference to something, so perusperusteeseen is used in sentences that point to or address the basic basis in question. The term itself is not commonly used as a standalone concept in everyday language; more often, related terms such as perusperuste (singular) or perusperusteet (plural) appear, and in educational policy the standard label is perusopetuksen opetussuunnitelman perusteet.

In the context of Finnish education, perusperusteet refer to the national core curricula that guide basic education. These core curricula define the objectives, content, and assessment criteria that municipalities and schools implement in day-to-day teaching. The framework is developed and maintained by the Finnish National Agency for Education (Opetushallitus) and serves as the basis for local curricula and instructional planning. The illative form perusperusteeseen may appear in policy texts or academic writing when discussing or referencing the foundational principles of the core curricula, for example in phrases that indicate alignment with or reference to the basic foundations.

Related terms include perustus and peruste, which convey related ideas of basis and justification, as well as the broader concepts of perusopetuksen, opetussuunnitelman and perusteet (the core curriculum’s principles). Overall, perusperusteeseen is primarily a grammatical inflection used in Finnish texts to indicate a direction toward the basic foundations discussed in educational policy.
