Utbildningsmässig

Utbildningsmässig is a Swedish adjective that denotes something relating to education or schooling. It is used to describe aspects connected to educational processes, systems, or goals, and is common in formal, academic, and policy-related language.

The term is formed from the noun utbildning (education) plus the suffix -mässig, which creates adjectives that express a relation or characteristic in the sense of “in terms of” or “of a certain kind.” As such, utbildningsmässig describes fields, conditions, or phenomena that concern education.

Usage notes and examples:

In everyday language, speakers often prefer more common terms such as pedagogisk (pedagogical) or utbildningsrelaterad (education-related). Utbildningsmässig is more typical in official reports, policy documents, and research contexts. Examples: “Skolans utbildningsmässiga mål är att stärka elevers läsförståelse.” “Forskningen undersöker utbildningsmässiga faktorer som påverkar elevers resultat.” “Reformen syftar till bättre utbildningsmässiga villkor i grundskolan.”

Adverbial form:

The adverbial form is utbildningsmässigt (in an educational manner or in terms of education), as in “Det behöver bedrivas utbildningsmässigt relevanta studier.”
