Proposal for guardians on the pre-primary education placement of their child

If the guardian accepts the pre-primary education placement proposed for their child, the child does not need to be separately signed up for pre-primary education. The proposed place is accepted in the eVaka system.

However, the guardian must sign their child up to pre-primary education in accordance with the school path through the eVaka system in the following situations:

• if the child’s address is not available in the Population Information System (non-disclosure order for personal safety reasons)
• the child is eligible for extended compulsory education and no proposal for a future place in pre-primary education has been issued
• the child and their guardians have moved to Tampere
• the child moves from one school path to another within Tampere

If the family has rejected the proposed placement for the child or has not received a placement proposal, the child must be signed up to pre-primary education between 20 and 31 January 2025 in the eVaka system.

Options for pre-primary education in accordance with the school path

The guardian may reject the school path-specific pre-primary education placement proposed for their child and sign their child up to

• bilingual pre-primary education organised by basic education (German, French, English)
• pre-primary education provided by private pre-primary education providers (Swedish-language, Christian and Steiner pedagogy)
• pre-primary education with evening and shift care
• Montessori pre-primary education that is not on one's own school path
• another school with pre-primary education than proposed on the basis of their sibling attending the school in question
