Expanding and steering capacity in Finnish higher education
Thematic policy brief
This policy brief is the second in a series of thematic policy briefs in the OECD's
Resourcing Higher Education Project. This project provides a shared knowledge base
for OECD member and partner countries on effective policies for higher education resourcing
through system-specific and comparative policy analysis. To meet the skill needs of
the Finnish economy, its government has set policy targets with respect to educational
attainment and globally mobile learners, and backed those targets with additional
resources to aid higher education institutions in accomplishing them. At the same
time, Finnish policymakers are engaged in an assessment of their higher education
landscape, examining whether the distribution of responsibilities among its higher
education institutions is effectively coordinated and adapted to national innovation
needs. This policy brief assesses the progress of initiatives to expand the capacity
of the higher education system and increase its attractiveness to globally mobile
learners, and takes stock of Finland’s institutional landscape in light of international
experience.
