Description

The syllabus of a general upper secondary school comprises at least 75 courses or 150 study credits. The studies can be completed in 2–4 years. The studies are completed as study periods. Study periods usually comprise 1–3 study credits and may include studies from one or more subjects.

General upper secondary schools offer a wide range of study subjects, such as mother tongue and foreign languages, mathematics and natural science subjects, humanities and social studies, religion or ethics, health sciences, sports and art and physical education. Students are elected to general upper secondary school based on the average grade of their basic education certificate. This average must be at least 7.0. Students can apply for general upper secondary education through the joint application procedure. Studies in a general upper secondary school give the graduates the qualification to continue their studies in universities and universities of applied sciences.

Rottien ja muiden tuhoeläinten hävittäminen kuuluu kiinteistönomistajan vastuulle. Rottahavainnoista kannattaa ottaa ensin yhteyttä tontin omistajaan tai isännöitsijään. Yksittäisiä rottahavaintoja ei yleensä pidetä terveyshaittana, mikä aiheuttaisi toimenpiteitä ympäristökeskuksessa. Runsaammat rottahavainnot voi ilmoittaa Vantaan ympäristökeskukseen. Jos rottien tai muiden vahinkoeläimiksi katsottujen lajien voidaan katsoa aiheuttavan terveyshaittaa, voi terveydensuojeluviranomainen määrätä tarpeellisia toimenpiteitä vahinkoeläinten hävittämiseksi. Vantaan ympäristökeskus antaa neuvontaa tuholaisten torjumiseksi, muttei tee myrkytyksiä tai hyönteisten tunnistusta.

Hakunilan urheilupuisto

Sotungissa sijaitseva urheilupuisto, jossa on monipuoliset sisä- ja ulkoliikuntamahdollisuudet.

About this service

Description

Hakunilan urheilupuisto tarjoaa mahdollisuuden monipuoliseen liikkumiseen tai vaihtoehtoisesti tilaisuuden rauhoittua luonnosta nauttien. Hakunila toimii myös paikkana monille isoille urheilutapahtumille. Alueella on järjestetty muun muassa hiihdon SM-kilpailuja, Jukola-viesti, Ironman-kilpailut ja uintikilpailuja. Vantaan suurin tekojääkenttä tarjoaa talvisin hienot luisteluolosuhteet ja tekojään kaukalossa pääsee pelaamaan mailapelejä. Kesäaikana tekojään alueella toimii kuusi tenniskenttää ja pesäpallokenttä, kaukalossa on puolestaan kaksi koripallokenttää. Talvikaudella tekojäiden käyttäjiä palvelee huoltorakennus, jossa voi vaihtaa luistimet lämpimässä sisätilassa ja josta löytyy myös wc:t. Pysäköintialueelta löytyy runsaasti maksuttomia pysäköintipaikkoja. Yleisurheilukentällä on kaikkien muiden, paitsi moukarinheiton suorituspaikat. Talvisin yleisurheilukenttä toimii hiihtostadionina. Kentän puku- ja pesutilat ovat puistoa käyttävien liikkujien käytössä ympäri vuoden niinä aikoina, kun henkilökunta on paikalla. Urheilupuiston lähimaastoissa kiertää erilaisia kuntoratoja ja reittejä, jotka ovat talviaikaan vain hiihtokäytössä. Kuntoradoilla ei ole talvikunnossapidettäviä kävelyreittejä. Osa reiteistä on valaistu pimeän aikaan. Hakunilan monipuolisille hiihtoladuille tehdään vuosittain tekolumilatuja, joten Hakunilassa pääsee hiihtämään ensimmäisenä Vantaalla. Latuja löytyy kaiken tasoisille hiihtäjille vasta-alkajista kansainvälisen tason kilpahiihtäjiin. Latujen profiileihin voi tutustua ennakkoon kartta.vantaan.fi sekä ulkoliikunta.fi sivujen kautta. Tekonurmikenttä ja sille talvisin pystytettävä ylipainehalli palvelevat jalkapallon harrastajia ympäri vuoden. Urheilupuiston alueella on myös skeittipaikka sekä useita ulkokuntoilulaitteita ja frisbeegolf-rata. Urheilupuiston vieressä sijaitsee myös Hakunilan uimahalli ja uimahallin kuntosali sekä Sotungin koulu, jossa on iso liikuntasali. Osaan liikuntapaikoista on mahdollista hakea vakiovuoroja sekä tilapäisiä käyttövuoroja. Jos liikuntapaikoilla on vapaata, ovat ne kaikille avoinna. Varaustilannetta pääsee tarkastelemaan Timmi-tilavarausjärjetelmässä, jossa tapahtuu myös käyttövuorojen haku.

Hiekkaharjun liikuntapuisto sijaitsee kävelymatkan päässä Hiekkaharjun juna-asemalta. Alueelta löytyvät monipuoliset mahdollisuudet ulkoliikunnan harrastamiseen, kun nurmikentän ja hiekkakentän ympäristöön sijoittuu monien eri lajien suorituspaikkoja. Sisääntuloporttien vieressä sijaitsee ulkokuntoilulaitteet ja katukoriskenttä. Yleisurheilukentän alueella on lähes kaikki yleisurheilulajien harrastamisen suorituspaikat. Ainoastaan moukarihäkki sijaitsee viereisen hiekkakentän reunalla. Keskellä yleisurheilukenttää on erityisesti jalkapallon pelaamiseen tarkoitettu nurmikenttä (100x60 m). Yleisurheilukentän toisella reunalla on katsomo, johon mahtuu noin 1 500 henkilöä. Yleisurheilukentän eteläpäästä löytyy kaksi beach-volley kenttää. Kesäisin alueella on kaksi tenniskenttää, futsal-kenttä ja koripallokenttä. Talvisin tälle kohdalle jäädytetään tekojää, jolle pääsee luistelemaan jo ennen, kuin luonnonjäät valmistuvat. Talvisäiden salliessa hiekkakentälle jäädytetään iso luonnonjää ja yleisurheilukentän juoksuradoille jäädytetään retkiluistelurata. Kentän huoltorakennuksessa sijaitsevat puku- ja pesutilat ovat käyttäjien käytössä silloin, kun henkilökunta on paikalla. Ajoporttien ollessa suljettuna alueelle pääsee kävellen kävelyporttien kautta. Hiekkaharjun liikuntapuisto tarjoaa hyvät puitteet myös tapahtumien järjestämiseen. Alue onkin tullut tunnetuksi mm. Tikkurila festivaalien tapahtumapaikkana.

About this service

Description

Rakentamisessa syntynyttä mineraaliperäistä jätettä, kuten betoni- ja tiilimursketta, on tietyin edellytyksin mahdollista hyödyntää väylien, kenttien, vallien ja teollisuus/varastorakennusten pohjarakenteissa ilman ympäristölupaa. Hyödyntäminen tulee toteuttaa jätteiden hyödyntämisestä maarakentamisessa annetun valtioneuvoston asetuksen mukaisesta ja siitä tulee tehdä ns. MARA-ilmoitus valtion valvontaviranomaiselle (Lupa- ja valvontavirasto). Jätteen on sovelluttava teknisesti maarakentamiseen, eikä se saa sisältää merkittävästi ympäristölle tai terveydelle haitallisia aineita. Hyötykäyttökohteen on sijaittava pohjavesialueen ulkopuolella. Lisätietoa mineraaliperäisen jätteen hyödyntämisestä löytyy Ympäristöhallinnon verkkopalvelusta. Mikäli hyödynnettävän jätteen määrä on vähäinen (betoni < 500 tonnia), eikä hyödyntäminen ole ammattimaista, arvioi kunnan ympäristönsuojeluviranomainen ympäristölupatarpeen. Jätteen sijoittamisesta on ilmoitettava kirjallisesti Vantaan ympäristökeskukseen vähintään 30 vrk ennen sijoittamista. Ilmoitukseen on liitettävä mahdolliset jätteen ympäristökelpoisuutta kuvaavat analyysitulokset, karttapiirros sijoituspaikasta sekä selostus siitä, miten jätteet aiotaan sijoittaa maaperään. Kiinteistön haltijan vaihtuessa jätteen käytöstä maarakentamisessa on annettava tieto uudelle haltijalle.

Published by: Vantaa city · Municipality

Description language: English

Coverage: Selected municipalities, regions or wellbeing services counties

About this service

Description

Sometimes independent study can help you find work and integrate faster. Independent studies can be * completion of comprehensive school * preparatory education for upper secondary school * preparatory vocational education * qualifying studies for example for physicians * Finnish or Swedish language studies. The studies must be in Finnish or Swedish. If the studies are included in social orientation, they may be in your native language. Support can be granted for studies that constitute a coherent whole for a maximum of 24 months. If the aim of the studies is to complete the syllabus of basic education, support can be granted for up to 48 months. To receive unemployment benefit, you must make progress in your studies as agreed in your integration plan.

How to use it

If you are planning your studies or have already applied to study, contact the employment authority in your area immediately and ask whether it is possible for you to study independently with unemployment benefit.

Conditions

Independent studies with unemployment benefit

During independent studies, you may receive unemployment benefits under certain conditions.

Published by: Vantaa city · Municipality

Description language: English

Coverage: Selected municipalities, regions or wellbeing services counties

About this service

Description

In some cases, you may be able to study independently while receiving unemployment benefits. Independent studies include studies where an educational institution is responsible for the provision and student selection instead of the employment authority. During independent studies, you are obliged to apply for and accept work, and participate in services promoting employment. You can receive unemployment benefits for short-term, part-time or full-time studies. Short-term studies are studies that last for a maximum of six months. Short-term study with unemployment benefit is possible if you have not previously studied for a short period of time during the same unemployment. Part-time studies are studies that are of minor scope or duration. Part-time studies may include, for instance, learning a new skill, completing basic studies at an open educational institution, or completing degree studies which have been previously interrupted. Full-time studies may also be part-time in some cases. Full-time studies usually aim at completing a degree or other studies the extent of which is on average the minimum of 5 credits or 4.5 ECVET points per study month, or 25 hours a week. Full-time study with an unemployment benefit is possible if the employment authority estimates that you need education and that the studies significantly improve your chances of finding employment. The studies must have been agreed upon in the employment plan usually before starting the studies.

How to use it

Conditions

Short-term studies You can receive unemployment security for short-term studies if * you are a jobseeker in the employment services of your area * you have turned 25 before the start of your studies * the total duration of your studies is no more than six months * the studies provide you with professional skills or support business activities. If your short-term studies do not last for more than three months, you will have the opportunity to complete new short-term studies immediately after your previous studies have ended. If your studies last for more than three months, the right re-emerges when you meet the minimum employment condition, and the calculation of the maximum time for earnings-related unemployment benefit restarts. Part-time studies You can study part-time with unemployment benefit if * you are a jobseeker in employment services in your area * you are entitled to unemployment benefit * your studies are considered part-time. Full-time studies can be considered part-time if you have worked or been employed as an entrepreneur for at least six months during your studies. In such cases, you have proved by working that your studies are part-time. Full-time studies can also be considered part-time if you have started your studies during the employment relationship and you are laid off or dismissed from work on financial or production-related grounds. In such a situation, it is not required that the employment should have lasted for at least six months during the studies. Full-time studies supported by unemployment benefit You can receive unemployment security for full-time studies if * you are a jobseeker in employment services in your area * you are entitled to unemployment benefit * the employment authority estimates that you need education, that the studies are the best way to promote your employment and that the studies significantly improve your chances of finding employment * you have turned 25 * the studies meet the relevant criteria. The studies may be supported for a maximum period of 24 months. However, if you are studying basic studies, the studies can be supported for 48 months.
