Lifelong learning for competence and development

Lifelong learning is about the opportunity to develop knowledge throughout life. Educational levels, school system throughput and access to further studies affect both individual development and the region's skills supply. By monitoring educational outcomes and participation in different forms of education, it is possible to see how conditions differ between municipalities and between groups in the population.

Students who have completed high school within 4 years
The number of people who complete upper secondary school within four years provides an indication of the throughput of upper secondary school. Results can vary between programs, municipalities and between girls and boys, which affects the opportunities to establish themselves in work or go on to further studies.
