Special Education 12/2017-5/2018

Between 2017 and 2018, I also completed the basic studies in special education. I pursued these studies in case I would later decide to qualify as a special education teacher. The basic studies in special education have provided me with valuable perspectives on education and the field of teaching more broadly. At times, I even feel that we Finns do not fully grasp the underlying factors that once enabled the Finnish education system to succeed in the international PISA assessments.

My name is Ville. I am an education, leadership and municipal administration professional and enthusiast. I am a certified Finnish language and literature teacher, psychology teacher and educational leader in Finland. I have both MA (Finnish) and M.Sc. (Admin.) degrees. I have taught Finnish language, academic writing and sports psychology at the Lapland University of Applied Sciences in 2025. I am also a proud member of the Society for Viipuri School of Economics, #Vitako. I have been studying supervision since autumn 2025 in a training programme aligned with the requirements of the Finnish Association of Supervisors (STOry) at Careeria, Porvoo.
