Education - group 9

1.      The first donation to a school of Kokkola was made by Karl Herman, in 1894, in order to establish a trust fund which gave grants to students who graduated from the grammar school.

Most institutions are maintained by local authorities or joint municipal boards, such as early childhood education, basic education and general and vocational secondary education. Therefore, the responsibility for educational funding is divided between the State and the local authorities, but they are also able to receive private funding.

For what concerns the higher education, Universities and Universities of applied sciences (AMMATTIKORKEAKOULU) receive public funding, but they are expected to obtain other private funding too. In addition, the external funding raised by the universities does not reduce the amount of state funding they are entitled to.

Introduction: Francesco Borsari

Hi everyone,
I'm Francesco Borsari, I'm Italian and 23 years old. I will spend my time in Kokkola as an Erasmus exchanger till Christmas. I used to play football, but I'm a sporty person so I really enjoy every kind of sport, especially if it is practiced outside. I spent my entire life living in a city which is called Modena and even if it's not big, sometimes it appears polluted and crowded. The main reason why I come to Finland is to get a pause from the modern citylife-style and to get in contact with Nature. It will allow me to discover and appreciate it better, a new way of Life and to develop a more sustainable ethical value.

I don't think I should post my photo because I'm the only bald guy in the class. But Everyone did it, so I'm going to do do the same (it wasn't easy to find the right picture).
Here I am!

 

=)
