The number of discontinuers was highest in vocational education aimed at young people and lowest in upper secondary general education.

In vocational education discontinuation has been diminishing steadily for five years. Besides actual changes, improved quality of data and revisions made to the compilation of statistics have also had a bearing on this development.
