The plan to transfer the agency's activities to the Education Ministry could expose the preparation of the nation's school curricula to political influence, OPH's director general says.

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.

    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.
