(2024)The extension of compulsory education was the most significant education policy reform of Sanna Marin’s government. In the reform, compulsory education was extended to the age of 18 or to the completion of an upper secondary education qualification. A key objective of the extension of compulsory education was to make it possible for all young people to obtain an upper secondary qualification and thereby raise educational attainment. The aim of this thesis is to analyse the problematisations of not completing upper secondary education in the parliamentary debates on the extension of compulsory education. The aim of this thesis is also to analyse the underlying logic of the problematisations and the implications of the problematisations. The analytical framework is Bacchi's (2009) WPR policy analysis, which builds on Bacchi's definition of problematisations as the basis for political governance and the problem representations, which are contained in problematisations in a given context. The data analyzed in the thesis is the minutes of the plenary sessions related to the Government’s proposal to amend the legislation on compulsory education and some related acts (HE 173/2020 vp). Qualitative content analysis was used as the method of analysis of the data. The study identified as key concerns the risks, as expressed in the parliamentary debates, that those without upper secondary education are more likely to be out of work in the future, and are at greater risk of being excluded. The problematisations in the debates build a picture of young people who are excluded from secondary education and employment, and who are also excluded from society. The problematisations were based on the needs of the working life, which was presented in the debate as having changed and thus requiring higher levels of educational attainment. Young people were largely categorised in the debate as either being in education and employment or not. Completion of upper secondary education was presented as a key determinant of which group a young person would end up in later in life.

(2018)Objectives. The objective of this study was to research how handicraft in contemporary art can weaken traditional gendered structures. There’s been active discussion of gender equality in the early years of the 21st century. History has had a big impact on how handicraft is regarded and how gendered it has been. Previous studies has shown that textilecrafts in the 21st century has also artistic value, not only practical value. In this study I consider handcraft’s impact on gendered structures in the context of art. Methods. The theoretical background of this thesis is based on an interview of an specialist and on relevant research literature. The research material consisted of Noora Schroderus (a Finnish sculptor) artworks which included embroidery. The research method used for qualitative content analysis was hermeneutic research method. By using content analysis I made interpretations on the artworks. Results. When researching art, one can not reach final interpretations on art works. When looking at the artworks through qualitative content analysis, it became clear that the most rewarding way of interpreting artworks is from their contexts. Through the analysis it is possible to find four different contexts where the embroidery of the artworks occur and weakens the gendered structures. These four contexts were the artwork in the hands of the artist, the artwork in exhibitions and the interaction between the artwork and the viewer and the society. Through handicraft in the arts it is possible to weaken the deep-rooted paradigms and norms. In the context of art, handicraft is seen more widely as art and not just as an item. The untypical and interesting material choices of Embroidered banknotes-series attracts the viewer to consider the artworks that weaken the traditional perceptions of the possibilities of handicraft, or more specifically, of embroidery. Thus it is possible to question the gendered structures in the society and build dialogue between different actors. When considered as art, handcraft is more expressive and more appreciated than when considered just as an handcraft item. These study results can not be generalised to other artworks but the results increase awareness of handicrafts possibility to influence art, society and discussion of equality.
