Education
In Finland, a compulsory education starts at the age of seven. In other words, on the same exact year when the child turns seven, they start the 1st grade of primary school.
For children living in Kittilä, there are five elementary schools: Lukkari, Alakylä, Kaukonen, Sirkka and Raattama. Each of them have grades from 1 to 6, so the children usually attend elementary school from age 7 to 13.
