Students in education leading to a qualification or degree number 1.25 million
The total number of students in education leading to a qualification or degree was 1.25 million in 2011. Preliminary data on 2011 indicate that the number of students remained unchanged in comparison with the previous year. The number of students decreased in comprehensive school and upper secondary general school education, but increased in vocational and polytechnic education. No significant changes took place in university education. These data derive from the education statistics compiled by Statistics Finland.
