Why Finland's School Are So Successfull
For many years the school system in Finland has been very successful. In the
PISA survey, which compares reading, math and science knowledge of 15 year olds
around the world, Finland is not only the top European country but also competes
with Asian giants like Shanghai, Singapore and South Korea. But what makes the
educational system in this small country so strikingly different from others in the
western world.
First of all, the Finish government makes it possible for all children to attend
work with their pupils in school as much as possible. They have little homework to
do when they get home. When teachers are not with the pupils they spend a lot of
time in schools working on the curriculum and new projects. They teach in teams
if it is needed to help them reach their goals. That is why dropout rates are low
Finland selects its teachers very carefully. Only talented students can continue their
more than in any other country teachers are ready to prepare children for life. In
some cases they know every pupil in their school and can adjust to them. Teachers
try everything to succeed with their pupils. Most of the pupils get additional help in
their elementary school years, either by the teachers themselves or through specially
trained educators.
