Pisa study

First, news from school.

The educational results of Finnish youth are worse than before.

The Pisa study shows that the literacy skills of young people have declined the most. Finland is now in 17th place.

The skills of Finnish 15-year-olds are still better than the average elsewhere.

The educational results of Finnish youth are worse than before. The skills are now declining the most among young people whose families have a good financial situation. Previously, they did the best.

Work

Now, news about work.

For young employees, the most important thing at work is salary. This is according to a new survey. Previously, interesting work tasks and a good atmosphere were more important than salary.

Many young people now want a permanent job that will last a long time.

Expert Jasmine Juokslahti says that the change began during the corona period:

-Before the coronavirus, young people thought that there would always be work for good guys. They weren’t afraid of short breaks. They were ready to accept shorter employment relationships and, for example, go to Bali to surf and then return to working life.

For young workers, the most important thing at work is their salary. Young people also hope that salaries are disclosed openly in the workplace.

Insects

The next topic is insects.

There were a lot of insects this summer. The reason is that the summer weather was good for insects.

Statistics show that, for example, there were many more butterflies in Finland this year than last year. However, this year is an exception. The number of butterflies has been decreasing.

This is where we study insects in Karjalohja. There are lots of butterflies in the yard, for example.
