Government savings

Initially, the topic was government savings.

The opposition has filed a motion to dismiss the government’s new savings.

The government is looking for new savings in social services, specialized medical care and education. The government is looking for savings of over 200 million euros in total.

Giant daycare centers

Now the topic is kindergartens.

There are 240 children at the Eloisa daycare center in Helsinki.

The daycare center’s deputy director, Tanja Sahila, says that the large size of the daycare center is not visible in the children’s everyday life. The children spend the day in their own groups and in their own spaces, with their own friends and their own adults, Sahila says.
