Last update: 27 November 2023

Under the Education Act the organiser of education (e.g. municipalities, regions or grant-aided independent providers) is obliged to ensure that CPD is available for teaching staff. 

Municipal adult education is offered at primary and upper secondary school level and the continuing professional development is similar in organisation to that for teachers in school education. For more information on continuing professional development see section 9.3 Continuing professional development for teachers working in early childhood and school education.
