Tulosperusteisilla

Tulosperusteisilla refers to a system of funding and support for higher education institutions in Finland, where the funding is based on the results and performance of the institutions. This system was introduced in 2010 as part of the Finnish government's efforts to improve the quality and efficiency of higher education. The main goal of tulosperusteisilla is to ensure that the resources allocated to higher education are used effectively and that institutions are held accountable for their performance.

Under the tulosperusteisilla system, higher education institutions receive funding based on a combination of factors, including the number of students they admit, the number of students who complete their studies, and the quality of the education they provide. Institutions are also evaluated on their research output, internationalization, and other factors. The funding is then allocated based on the performance of each institution, with better-performing institutions receiving more funding.

One of the key features of tulosperusteisilla is that it is a performance-based system. This means that institutions are rewarded for their achievements and are encouraged to improve their performance. The system also includes a number of incentives and support measures to help institutions achieve their goals. For example, institutions that perform well in international rankings may receive additional funding or recognition.

The tulosperusteisilla system has been widely praised for its transparency and accountability. By linking funding to performance, the system ensures that institutions are held to high standards and that resources are used effectively. The system has also been credited with improving the quality of higher education in Finland and making the system more competitive and efficient.

However, the tulosperusteisilla system has also faced criticism. Some argue that the system is too complex and difficult to understand, and that it places too much emphasis on quantitative measures of performance. Others have raised concerns about the potential for gaming the system, where institutions may focus on short-term goals rather than long-term quality and innovation. Despite these criticisms, the tulosperusteisilla system remains a key feature of the Finnish higher education system and is likely to continue to evolve and improve in the years to come.
