The development plans for Kouvola’s early childhood education and comprehensive school service networks are currently being updated. Residents have the opportunity to influence the content of these plans until November 12.
The City of Kouvola is renewing its service networks and investing in new facilities for education and childcare during the 2020s. The total investment is significant – €150 million over ten years. The decisions made are based on development plans for comprehensive school education and early childhood education approved by the City Council in 2019 and 2021.
The starting point for renewing service networks is to ensure high-quality and accessible services for all children and families, taking into account Kouvola’s demographic trends, learning needs, and the city’s financial resources.
The development of education and childcare services and service networks will continue. The Kouvola City Council will review updated development plans for early childhood education and comprehensive school education service networks at the end of 2025 and the beginning of 2026.
Now you have the opportunity to influence the content of these plans! Please respond to the survey by November 12, 2025 (Webropol). The questionnaire is in Finnish, but you can reply also in English.
