Employee reports provide information on the qualifications of teachers in basic education, general upper secondary education, vocational education and training, and
liberal adult education and, separately, the qualifications of teachers
in liberal adult education and the take up of continuing education. The
statistics are based on the collection of data per capita by Statistics
Finland. Data on teachers is collected every two or three years. Data is available from the year 2010 onwards. Survey response rates by educational structure are shown in the table below. When examining the statistics, response rates should be taken into consideration. More
specific statistics on teachers in basic education, general upper
secondary education and vocational education and training are published
on the sector-specific pages.
Note! Some of the reports are subject to data protection measures. In that case numbers of 1-4 persons are shown as "1-4" and larger numbers are rounded to the nearest multiple of three. Percentages are calculated using the protected numbers.

different forms of continuing education. A man-day refers to an input of
at least six hours. For example, two eight-hour days are calculated as
two days of continuing education, while two work inputs of at least
three hours are calculated as one day of continuing education. Events of
less than three hours were not included in these statistics.
