The woman was found dead in a dormitory at the beginning of July.
Those held under suspicion are two women health care employees from the education centre. They are thought to have poisoned their victim with insulin.
Police say they believe there is no link to a similar recent case of fatal insulin poisoning in the Pirkanmaa district.
Educational Centre's Resources Problem Well Known The Finnish Association of Societies for Persons with Intellectual Disabilities says the lack of adequate professional staff at the Lehtimäki Opisto, where the incident took place, has been known for a long time.
Members of Parliament and the Ministry of Education have been lobbied by the Association over problems facing the centre. Relatives of students have also expressed their concern but no assistance has been forthcoming in providing improved resources.
The Association says the insulin poisoning case is the latest incident of the centre's serious shortage of resources. It called for greater legal protection for those with intellectual disabilities and added that even their lives were in danger until decision makers took the problem of resources seriously.
