In Finland education is a public service, mainly
free of charge. In this context it is reasonable to
ask how do educational values and business val
ues fit together. How do top public administra
tors see education as a market commodity in the
international business field? What ethical ques
tions and solutions have emerged in the field of
education export, and why they are important
to the actors? The study is based on interviews
with four state administrators working with ed
ucation export and representing national inter
est. The state administrators have encountered
a number of ethical problems in advancing edu
cation export. However, they have come up with
several solutions to ethical dilemmas.
