According to Statistics Finland, immediate continuation of studies was still more difficult in 2011 than in the year before for both completers of the 9th grade of comprehensive school and passers of the matriculation examination. Nine per cent of completers of the comprehensive school and 62 per cent of new passers of the matriculation examination failed to get a place for further studies. The share of those left outside further studies leading to a qualification or degree grew by nearly one-half of a percentage point for completers of the 9th grade and by 1.5 percentage points for passers of the matriculation examination from the previous year.
