Support for learning and special needs education

The new law will change the support for learning as of 1 August 2025.

General upper secondary schools will provide you with support for learning and special needs education when you need it. For example, you can receive extra lessons or additional guidance for learning from a subject teacher.

A special needs teacher will guide and teach you how to strengthen your learning skills and study methods and overcome obstacles to your learning. A special needs teacher can also help you make any special arrangements you may need to take the matriculation examination.

The new law will change the support for learning as of 1 August 2025.
