Children and youth
Investing in children and young people is investing in the future. The well-being of children, youth, and families forms the foundation of a sustainable and safe society.
When children and young people thrive, have a stable upbringing, and receive the support they need, a strong foundation is laid for their future. Families who feel secure and have access to resources and support are better equipped to handle challenges and create a positive environment for their children.
I aim to work towards:
All children and young people should have the right to a meaningful hobby, regardless of their family's socioeconomic status.
We should invest in services such as outreach youth work and workshops to support and help vulnerable young people.
More resources for childrens social services and expanded family counseling.
Education
Education is the most important pillar of our society. High-quality education, from early childhood education to higher education, is essential. Early childhood education should be free of charge, and class sizes should be reduced.
Schools must provide both digital and traditional learning materials, as well as sufficient support resources for all students, such as school psychologists and homework assistance.
We should also invest more in secondary education to ensure high-quality teaching for the young. Everyone should have a place in the upper secondary education they wish to study.
A good collaboration between the municipality and the universities is very important to ensure a strong local job market and employment opportunities after studies.
I aim to work towards:
Early childhood education should become free.
To increase resources directed at reducing all forms of bullying.
To guarantee on-site support in schools in the form of psychologists, social workers and sufficient resources for students and study guidance.
A growing municipal
For Turku to be attractive and thriving, a strong economy, investments in entrepreneurship, and investments in knowledge and welfare are essential. Responsible financial management ensures high-quality services and a well-functioning everyday life for residents. We need a vibrant Turku where people thrive and businesses grow.
Excellent collaboration between municipalities and businesses, the promotion of sustainable investments, and more efficient employment services are crucial for helping more people quickly find jobs. A good work environment for municipal employees and an inclusive labor market are important factors for growth.
By investing in labor immigration, equal recruitment, and better-tailored higher education policies, we can meet the needs of the future.
I aim to work towards:
To keep municipal taxation at reasonable levels.
To ensure municipal employment services work effectively.
