Grahn-Laasonen: University admissions system is no longer functional

Sanni Grahn-Laasonen (NCP), the Minister of Education and Culture, is open to the idea of eradicating entrance examinations in higher education.

The Government Institute for Economic Research (VATT) proposed yesterday that the entrance examinations be eradicated and replaced with an admission system based upon performance in the matriculation examination, a centralised application register and a smart algorithm.
