TUVA education in Kuopio
Preparatory education for programmes leading to a qualification
Preparatory education for programmes leading to an upper secondary qualification, or TUVA, combines previous additional basic education (10th grade), preparatory education for general upper secondary education, and preparatory education for basic vocational education (VALMA).
The focus of TUVA education in Kuopio is on strengthening knowledge of basic education contents. During their TUVA year, students can attempt to raise all their basic education grades. TUVA education also focusses on study skills and management of everyday life, introduces general and vocational upper secondary school studies, and includes a period of work placement.
