Regional segregation is a phenomenon which is visible in many countries, whose significant political impact has not yet been sufficiently comprehensively understood.

People's voting behaviour is increasingly influenced by many aspects of their own lifestyle and the situation in their own place. In the election victory of Trump, in Brexit, the rising support of the French Marine Le pen was motivated by clear regional tensions. " During the 2010 century, Finnish age classes have fallen to 774 of the number of children responsible for the primary school class. " Finland is now in a situation where regional segregation threatens to grow stronger and faster than perhaps ever before. It has not resulted in any political decision, but two interconnected developments: urbanization and birth rate decline. The consequences of these developments are already reflected in Finnish early childhood education and primary school, and their impact will only be strengthened within a few years. During the 2010 century, Finnish age classes have fallen to 774 of the number of children responsible for the primary school class. It is estimated that the number of Finnish primary school pupils will be reduced by a startling fifth in the coming decade. With the simultaneous increase in the number of large urban clusters, the decline of primary school pupils will be even more intense in many small municipalities. Saying this aloud does not mean that I see the pupil numbers as the smallest desirable trend. That does not mean that I do not understand the role and value of our fine village schools. Nor does it mean that I would be exporting from the municipalities the right to decide on their own school network. It only means, in all its simplicity, that at the moment it seems that the children will end up in many areas. And this is the subject of the consequences we need to ponder together. " We need to consider together what migration and birth rate decline mean for this country and its education. " I understand well the strong sense of charging that is related to this topic. Emptying your own hometown is a really sore thing. In urban bustle and surrounded by services, it is difficult to properly open what it feels like when you see your keeper's life around him. Former shops, association houses and schools are standing empty and people's homes are left to decay as memorials of the time that ever existed. Young people moving to towns and cities are growing into the youth, who are forced to hang in the rush years without the support of their parents or grandparents. It is no wonder that the number of children will fall, in addition to taking into account the increase in the price of housing for large growth centres, the growing demands of working life and the inadequacy of the services of families with children. " It is clear that the school will continue to be the last things that the municipalities are willing to abandon. The school is the soul and heart of the villages and communities. " We need to consider together what migration and birth rate decline mean for this country and its education. As far as high school education is concerned, various models of distance learning have already been developed, with the desired extension, for example, of course offerings for substances and courses that have not been possible to organise in small secondary schools. However, it is quite impossible to build a basic school on distance education, because its teaching highlights the skills and objectives that can only be learned in the school community. Perhaps we will see new models of cooperation between municipalities and common basic schools in future. The second stage will possibly see the organisation of high-level and vocational training in the same real estate. Many municipalities are aiming to strengthen the service network by aggregations of different degrees of education under one roof and also between the city's youngest and older residents in the same facilities. It is clear that the school will continue to be the last things that the municipalities are willing to abandon. The school is the soul and heart of villages and communities. And that is precisely why we need a common reflection on what the future of schools and education will look like, and how we want to take care of all children's right to quality education in the future. Information on demographic trends is forcing us to engage in this debate. Mr Li Andersson Minister, president of the Left Alliance
