This legislative act amends Finland’s Basic Education Act to strengthen school discipline, student well-being, and state oversight. Key provisions restrict pupils from using mobile phones or personal mobile devices during classroom teaching time, unless explicitly permitted by teachers for educational, healthcare, or assistive technology purposes. The act establishes clearer guidelines for temporary removal from class, detention, physical confiscation of disruptive items, and school exclusions, while ensuring mandatory student welfare support during disciplinary actions. Furthermore, it expands the Regional State Administrative Agency’s authority to conduct proactive, independent inspections of educational providers to safeguard student rights and educational quality.
