A new Karhunaukio comprehensive school is being planned in Turku, which will replace the Lauste elementary school and Vasaramäki lower secondary school and serve the new residents of the Skanssi area. A press conference will be held at the shopping center Skanssi Monitor on Thursday, September 1, 2022, about the comprehensive school's needs assessment and the de-velopment prospects of the Lauste–Skanssi area. Residents and customers of the services as well as media representatives are welcome to the event.

Karhunaukio comprehensive school will replace the current Lauste primary school and Vasaramäki lower secondary school facilities. There will also be a daycare and a library in the school's connection or imme-diate vicinity, as well as new or overhauled sports facilities, which will in turn promote children's and young people's sports and hobby activities in the school's entire student area and beyond. 

The press conference informs about the development prospects of the Lauste–Skanssi area and the needs assessment of the Karhunaukio comprehensive school, which was under consideration by the Board of Education on June 1, 2022. (kasvatus- ja opetuslautakunnan käsittelyssä 1.6.2022. )
