„According to Statistics Finland’s education statistics, 72 per cent of new passers of the matriculation examination in 2017 did not continue studies leading to a qualification or degree in the year of the matriculation examination. […] Many new passers of the matriculation examination have to have a gap year or years before finding a place for further studies, even though most apply to further studies right after passing the matriculation examination. […] After two gap years most had started further studies. Of the 2014 passers of the matriculation examination, over 71 per cent were studying, 62 per cent in tertiary education and 10 per cent in upper secondary vocational education in 2016.“
