Petition E.
started this petition to
Finnish Prime Minister Jyrki Katainen
In Finland there are around 5.4 million inhabitants, of which Finnish speakers make up over 91% and Swedish speakers over 5%. The majority of Finns want mandatory Swedish to be optional or voluntary in schools. The Finnish school children must have the right to study languages they themselves want to learn. But the Parliament of Finland and the government do not want to listen to the people and do not carry out the will of the majority. By making Swedish optional, school children have more time to customize their studies for a more productive and prosperous future.

Please sign this petition and give your support to making Swedish optional in Finnish schools.
