Abstract

[The chapter focusses both on the debate on the role of practical-utilitarian disciplines and on the founding of new educational establishments during the nineteenth century. In addition to the Imperial Alexander University, four other educational establishments were set up in Finland in this century. Initially, these were schools or post-secondary level institutes providing vocational education. These schools and institutes are the following (in the order in which they were established): Hamina Cadet School, Mustiala Agricultural School/College, the Polytechnic School/Institute, teacher training colleges (or seminaries), and business schools/colleges. The author describes how these schools and institutions were established and how they eventually developed into higher education institutions or, in the case of agriculture and forestry, into a university faculty. The author also analyses the polytechnic students’ and teacher trainees’ socio-economic background.]
