The forecasted public spending on tertiary education in Finland shows a gradual decline from 2024 to 2028. Compared to 2023, this downward trend implies a consistent reduction in the financial allocation for higher education. The year-on-year variations indicate a slight but steady decrease in spending year over year. Over the past two years, this trend is evident, and the Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the five-year span underscores an average annual decline.
Key observations about future trends to watch include potential shifts in government policy which could either reverse the trend or accelerate the decline, changes in the economic landscape influencing public budgets, and demographic factors such as student enrollment rates affecting funding needs. Monitoring these elements will be crucial for understanding the direction of future public spending on tertiary education in Finland.
