School attendance is not compulsory in Finland. Homeschooling is legal and possible.
The municipality is responsible for supervising home-schooled pupils to make sure they are following the national curriculum. Study materials, remedial teaching or meals are not provided but healthcare is.
It would be advantageous to home-school your child in a group. If that is not possible to do locally, there exists a non-chartered online school that arranges meetups: https://feeniks-koulu.fi/wp_feeniks/
I don't think I said attendance at a school is compulsory and I did mention this:
I don't know how many are actually homeschooling, but I also wonder how distributed they are around Finland.
Sorry about missing that part.
I'm guessing they are quite evenly distributed.
No worries, just in case someone was reading, I didn't want it to seem like I misrepresented the situation :)
I wonder if there are more in the cities and then there could be group classes still. I know in Australia it is common to share some responsibilities.
In the biggest cities maybe.
