When Finland’s finance minister Riikka Purra (Finns) revealed her draft budget proposal on Wednesday, her plans to abolish the Finnish National Agency for Education garnered much attention and reaction.
Finland why
Because unfortunately country is currently run by our equivalents of Reagan style republicans (National coalition party) and Maga (True Finns).
there are many counties dealing with fascism infiltrating. Romania is horrifying atm.
To be fair, this mainly seems lika Purra being Purra, or in other words, a lunatic. This is only her proposal for new budget cuts and none of the other government parties have agreed with them so far.
In fact, even the NCP have said this proposal doesn’t seem reasonable and will need a lot of negotiation to even become somewhat feasible. Let’s see this autumn where the negotiations lead us, but I don’t believe most of it will make it into the budget plan.
You might as well just say you don’t want people to be educated at all with a statement like that.
Well educated are not really the True Fins base.
Purra is always very happy to announce her cuts and has that smirk on her face.
She’s getting off somehow BDSM style, nation wide.
Or is it just resulting attention and munchausen syndrome?
She looks retarded. Yes, I said it.
With a face like that, there’s a plausible explanation as to why she’s got a grudge against the whole world.
ITT no one actually read the article. It seems to just put private institution resources under government education institute - basically all of Europe already does that right?
the education agency is still a state-run organisation, but separate from any political institutions in order to not color the education plan any particular way. that’s what they want to change.
does anyone actually know what falls under Finland’s educational agency?
From what i get from English wikipedia, it’s mainly preparing curricula for basic and secondary education, participating in the education field’s regulations, and acting as a central organizer for administrative things relating to education.
