According to a study by the National Board for Education, approximately the same share of migrant pupils (i.e. native tongue other than Finnish or Swedish) and majority pupils continue to vocational secondary education upon completion of compulsory education. However, significantly smaller share of migrant pupils continue to upper secondary education and a significantly higher share of them do not continue at all in secondary education.
