09.08.2010 08:35

This autumn, a total of approximately 1,680 first-formers will begin their school careers in Tampere, as schools open their doors on Wednesday 11 August.

A total of around 15,380 7-16-year-old pupils attend basic education schools maintained by the City of Tampere. Around 130 pupils from an immigrant background will receive instruction preparing for basic education this autumn.

There is no shortage of places in morning and afternoon activities for young school children, i.e. first and second-formers. Not all of the first and second-formers who applied for places in the spring accepted their places, so there have still been openings for new first-formers who applied later as well. A few second-formers are still waiting for a place.

Pre-primary education will also begin as school starts. A total of around 1,630 children born in 2004 will participate in municipal pre-primary education in Tampere.

Approximately 1,000 pupils, 33% of whom are from outside Tampere, will begin their studies in daytime upper secondary schools maintained by the City of Tampere. In total, around 3,200 pupils, 25% of whom are from outside Tampere, study in daytime upper secondary schools maintained by the City of Tampere.
Around 1,600 pupils study in other education providers’ upper secondary schools in Tampere.
