Colleges and adult education
Jyväskylä is one of the liveliest school and college towns in Finland. Almost every third person in the street is a pupil or student with a student population of 45,000 in total. The most educated people in their thirties in the country live here. The traditions of education and Finnishness run strong: the first Finnish secondary school in Finland was founded here as were the very first Finnish seminary for primary school teachers and the first Finnish girls’ school.
