Abstract

By educational effectiveness we understand that education reaches the outputs and outcomes that educational goals and objectives have wanted to be gained. Mostly effectiveness’ scrutinity includes only analysis if a certain level of education system produces skills and knowledge that the national norms require. That kind of analyses we need also in the future, but in the future we should put more effort in research how and in which extent education produces wellbeing. That is, of course, a very difficult area of research as there are no detailed, exact, authentic data to be collected on the exact effect of education to the work carrier or private life of an individ- ual person or to the wellbeing of a society.
