- When it comes to international results, Finland's schools score consistently at the top.
However, pupils study the fewest number of class hours in the developed world.
The BBC travels to Helsinki to find out the secret of the Finns' education success.
every freaking country in this world needs this system
"This is my school, not some politician school" WHAT? HOLY I WANT THIS KIND OF SYSTEM IN MY COUNTRY!!!
Well, in biology in 9th grade we focus mainly on human biology. We study human anatomy, physiology. We learn about pregnancy, sexually transmitted deceases, safe sex. It's such a long list that I don't have the patience to tell you everything in detail. :)
Also, the teachers have the freedom. This is helpful in so many ways!
Congratulations, Finland. Your education system is just what I desire for Spain
I love this! I believe this is so eye opening to the American education system. It's not about the money or time, but about the drive to do well not by placing them as winners or losers but AS STUDENTS! Way to go Finland! You keep rockin' it, maybe one day America will catch on.
They don't mention here that Finnish teachers make 89 percent of the salary of their upper quartile Finnish peers. In the United States teachers make less than 60% of their upper quartile American peers. (Do not know what it is for the United Kingdom). The narrow salary discrepancy in Finland makes an enormous difference for recruitment of top university students.
why isn't america funding this education system, that has proven itself effective.
This makes me proud to be assistant teacher in finland.
I think focus on languages at early grades is the most important key aspect since kids can learn a language much easier and faster at young age.
i love you Finland
Why doesn't every country have this ?
ahhh can't wait to start my studies in Finland!
In the US education is run by state, it would be possible for some states to try a similar model. Finland has about 6 million people These states have a population of less than 6 million: Maryland, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Colorado, Alabama, South Carolina, Kentucky, Oregon, Oklahoma, Connecticut, Iowa, Mississippi, Arkansas, Kansas, Utah, Nevada, Hawaii, N Mexico, W Virginia, Idaho, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Wyoming, N Dakota, Delaware, S Dakota, Alaska, DC and Vermont.
Fantastic report, one of the better ones. it shows the truth about intelligence, it happens when we are relaxed
Finnish schools are recognized as number one in world for student achievement. Some of the main points: educators make the decisions, NOT politicians. Teachers are encouraged to get master's degrees and the state picks up the tab. There is differentiated instruction. One teacher has same students for five years in elementary grades. Interesting stuff!
LOL, it looks like all school systems are failing except in Finland.
Many countries around the globe have adopted the U.S.. or British school systems that driven by competition. Such educations systems do nothing but wasting children's precious time that are so important for learning and be creative. Kudos to Finland.
Most students are quite happy with their education and are indeed receiving it in a top-notch environment. You're just special. Though perhaps I'm not qualified to have an opinion on this, for I went to school in Helsinki and I have no idea what it's like elsewhere.
one thing they never mention in these bits about Finnish schools is that these kids are FINNISH ! As a whole these people are much more cooperative, less competitive, and very efficient. It is a culture of 'nothing wasted'. Each person sees themselves as valued. Here in the US, there is an pervasive cultural creed... "I don't take no sh*t from nobody !" ...even at the cost of hurting one's self. The Finns have a very different mind set.
I have seen a few of these Finnish videos & I am impressed that so many of the teachers speak such good English. One Teacher spoke 5 languages. OMG plus she was a chemistry & physics teacher. Wow.
