Finland is Revolutionary in It's Approach

  Education in Finland

    Finland has one of the best educational systems in the world.It consistently scored well in global education ranking.Here are 4 possible reasons why:
   1-Funding: All schools receive the same government funding,even the few private institutions
.
Private  schools are bound by the same standards as publicly funded schools.
   2-Training: Teachers are highly trained and encouraged to develop their own style.Primary school teachers spend 5 years training receiving at least a Master's degree.
  3-Homework:Finnish children do much less homework .In 2012 they spent less than 3 hours a week on homework.A figure that has fallen since 2003.
  4-Starting early:Finland provides universal access to early childhood education. Pre- primary  education is linked to better academic performance later.Most of the children can speak four languages.Unlike other countries teachers are the best and the brightest and come from top 10 of the world.

•   Finland is the first country in the world to get rid of school subjects.The education system is considered one of the best in the world.Now,in its schools,there won't be any lessons in physics,Math,literature,history or geography.Instead of separate subjects, students will study events and phenomena from different perspectives.

For example,the second world war will be examined from the perspective of history,geography and Math and while studying a  course on "working in a cafe"students will learn knowledge of English,economic and communication skills.This idea is that a student gets to choose what subject they want to study based on their interests and capabilities.The new system will be in place by 2020.

•   Finland continues to raise the bar of education.A handful of Finnish schools were redesigned over the summer to better reflect a new national curriculum.Instead of classrooms,they're now called "learning environments" as they only scantly resemble the neat rows of desks and chalkboards.
