Service network planning with more realistic campus dimensions
Initiative done Initiative type Council initiatives Initiative author Matti Alanko Initiative status Processed
The service network must be redesigned with more realistic campus dimensions. As many primary schools as possible must be located within three kilometres.
A large school campus is not the most economical option. The most cost-effective school size is somewhere between 200 and 300 pupils. It is not worth building schools larger than two-form schools, as the school network will become too sparse, with only a few mega-campuses. The ideal situation for pupils, parents and taxpayers is for as many people as possible to be within walking distance of a primary school. This eliminates the need for school transport and gives pupils the benefit of exercise on their way to school.
