| Please, briefly describe the CBC activity you wanted to pursue | In the Haparanda-Tornio region students have been able to freely attend schools across the border at the comprehensive school level since 1978. Families are able to choose a school for their children in Haparanda or Tornio region regardless of which side of the border the family lives. A common comprehensive school – the language school – was started in 1989. The school is situated in Haparanda and half of the pupils come from each city. Pupils in upper secondary school and vocational training also can freely attend across the border. |
