Helsingin Sanomat reports that bullying has increased in Helsinki schools.
That's according to the School Health Promotion study, a biannual survey of the state of the nation's schoolchildren performed by the National Institute for Health and Welfare (Finnish acronym THL).
The survey found that an average of 9.6 percent of pupils in Helsinki schools experienced bullying once a week. That represents an increase of two percentage points on the last survey, which was carried out two years ago.
HS looks deeper into the results to see what the situation is like in individual schools in the capital.
The paper has a handy tool allowing parents to check individual schools. The data shows that some 29.6 percent of children at Tahvonlahden Primary school in Laajasalo reported being bullied once a week, the highest school-specific number in the study.
The school's rector told HS that things have improved dramatically since the survey was done, with some 68 percent of pupils saying in the autumn that they were not bullied at all. That is up from around 30 percent in the survey.
There was wide variation in the results, with Swedish-language schools in Helsinki reporting much lower prevalence of bullying.
The survey is based on questionnaires sent to 4th, 5th, 8th and 9th graders.
MPs' shareholdings
Kauppalehti takes a look at legislators' declarations of financial interests, which have been required since 2015.
The paper found some fairly lax rules on MPs' investments. Firstly, any shareholding worth less than 50,000 euros does not need to be declared.
KL looked at the shareholding registry for Fortum, the majority-state-owned energy firm. They found plenty of MPs complying with the rules, but still holding thousands of euros worth of Fortum shares without declaring that in the parliamentary register of interests.
In mid-October National Coalition MP Pauli Kiuru had some 44,800 euros worth of Fortum shares. Other Fortum shareholders included Timo Harakka (14,800 euros, SDP), Atte Kaleva (8,600 euros, NCP), Markku Eestilä (8,500 euros, NCP), and Antti Lindtman (6,300 euros, SDP).
Of those, only Eestilä had declared his holding in the register of interests.
Companies where MPs exercise significant control are another issue. They only need to declare those shareholdings if they own more than 30 percent of the voting shares.
A parliamentary working group has suggested that the threshold be reduced to 20 percent of the voting shares.
Vaccine fury
Ilta-Sanomat follows up on an Etelä-Suomen Sanomat story about angry Lahti residents causing ructions as they demand Covid booster shots.
The autumn Covid wave is in full swing in Finland, with plenty of people falling ill. That has prompted a belated rush for booster doses of vaccine, but capacity to deliver them is being tested in the Päijät-Häme region.
People have been abusive towards bookers on the phone lines, and even turned up at vaccination centres and tried to demand inoculation without an appointment.
The current vaccination programme is limited to those in risk groups, who are mostly over 65 years of age. Their behaviour has surprised health professionals.
"We're always hearing about young people this and young people that," said vaccination coordinator Henry Raita. "But there has been more disruptive behaviour from the over-65s than from the youth, which is a little strange. We are talking about grown up people who have plenty of life experience, and then they don't know how to behave."
