Pupils’ subject choices

The reports on languages and other subject choices in basic education provide information on the language and other subject choices basic education pupils have made. The data is available separately for grades 1​–6 and 7​–9. In the opening screen of the report, users can select the geographical view (region)​​ or the organisational view (education provider). For other subject choices, data is collected only every two years.

Note! The reports are subject to data protection measures. 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.
