Seconded! I consider myself being somewhat gifted child in math and science. But I was lazy as f*ck and hated school. Throughout the system wonderful teachers (not wonderful back then of course) kept kicking me forward. Now that I earn three times the salary of an average finnish teacher in IT sector, I kinda feel bad. Politians in Finland still don't understand that brain power is the only advance we have in global market. Nowadays, they take it for granted, and it's considered something from which we can cut. The school reform was made in the '70, I went through the system from late '80s to early 2000s. The system has worked for a long time. What our current politicians fail to understand is that Finland wasn't and still isn't a rich country what comes to natural resource, and we are scarcely populated. Arming people with their best skills should be priority #1, always. First, we should double teacher salaries, their ridiculous. Second, funding of education should be tied to some sort of growth index, which should (hopefully) stop the useless "every election year talk" where and what to cut next.

I really like the fact Finnish people don't stress tests and look at the human aspect of things.

When I hav kids, I’m taking them to Finland to study..

I noticed few comments on how Finns have little to none in terms of great higher education institutes. And as a Finn studying in an uni here I felt compelled to give my insight to the topic. Counting just Nobels is easy, but quite inaccurate way to compare the level of what is generally understood by advanced science and research. That said it is true that we (in Finland) lack top universities that you have in the US, UK and all around the world. In fact our best ones rank between top 200 and 300 generally. In the scope of whole world that's not bad, but we could do better. Then again like some you said our culture is somewhat the culture of the average (that goes way beyond education, but affects that too). We tend to universally aim for providing everyone the equal quality and possibilities. In practice we often aim for raising the average. What should also be noted is that in terms of universities we are clearly changing the approach and aiming for developing one university over the others. W actually have great research and studies in few narrow fields, but as long as there are universities with better funding and bigger budgets our top researchers are right to leave for those to get better pay and more resources for their research. And that is one of the biggest reasons why for example in America and UK there are truly incredible universities with long and proud traditions. They have managed to develop better places for sciences to develop (imo: thanks to resources and long traditions with adequate or more than adequate funds). Another thing to take into account is that our universities and especially the universities of applied sciences (polytechnic institutes) have heavy focus and responsibility on as education institutes rather than research institutes. Universities have two roles to serve: education and research, sharing the knowledge and generating new knowledge. Our universities have significant research too, but maybe the focus in general is on the education and producing graduates (to earn government funding) more than being high praised research institute. It's hard to be both at the same time, especially with the limited funds our unis have access to. A person can't really teach and research at the same exact moment you know. :D Anyways here was my input for the conversation. For me this video was about education system with focus on general education and perhaps mostly on students/kids primary and high school. And great work on that by the way. It was really informative for me too.

School really needs to change, and fast. If you think about it, most problems in society stem back to education. And although many people do realise this, their initial response is usually that more funds or reforms are needed, instead of that the system itself is bad. Almost all school systems are, to some degree at least, based on the Prussian system, a country that doesn't even exist any more. The Prussian system was designed to create authority obeying factory style workers, which is what they needed at the time. However, we are still using the core of this system, and it is very counter productive. We need to fix our schools before yet another generation of people (and society) suffer.

Also it was a massive improvement from the period beforehand where basic education was not guarentee to the working classes. The higher the rate of educqtion the more people could manage and improve the countries international prospects. The system is by no means great, nowadays but for the time it was revolutionary. Also I second the research that shows teaching kindergartners to read doesn't increase their educational prospects long term. I didn't actually start 'reading' till about 7 and a half and ended up graduating well ahead of my peers in highschool and university. The only reason I bring it up is because at the time my mother was quite worried. she took me to a number of specialists and doctor's only to find out I was reading interally but just incredibly shy in class.

$26,000 is the cost of pre-natal care and birthing a baby without a c-section in the United States.

If I need an ambulance to the hospital, that costs $500-$1000 plus the thousands that get charged for whatever emergency services I needed. I'd gladly pay higher yearly taxes if I didn't have to pay tens of thousands of dollars for medical care and a basic college education.

Finland worked hard to get to where they are in this area; investment, social contracts, and public understanding and equal access, moreover, they have a culture that, in general, agrees that these methods are in the best interest of the children and the country. This was not always the case, but since the 1970's, steady, and continual growth is demonstrated, in the area of education, as well as high levels of equality as well as equity for all learners.

here in america it is all over the place. immersion schools where kids learn a foreign language but nothing about their own, especially in grammar, writing, and vocabulary. we teach liberal or conservative PC depending on region. teachers are afraid of parents. states vary. private corporations meddle. different cultures bitch that their kids should opt out due to culture, religion, or vague "values" which are really just prejudices. my vocabulary, knowledge of written grammar, context clues, etc are far beyond my millennial coworkers because I came from an older generation. since then, I have seen the rise of huge variations of skill set across schools. variations in a race, culture, area as well as across all cultures, races, and areas.

I watched a film on "Neils" Anarchist school. Where children who orthodox schools didn't want. Children could do as they liked. I'm not qualified to judge. But a British School Inspector, commented, "It's difficult to criticise this School". And added that "Schools always damage children one way or another"! It would seem Finland is a land people can only dream of for their Children. Singapore, Taiwan and as always China are very good. My Schooling except for my Infant School at 5 ,in 1949 very kind and progressive lady's. My middle School was mostly unspeakable boredom. High School was horrific. In Scottish Schools in those days children were strapped on the hand one hand under the other. The pain would stop your heart momentarily. Billy Connoly the Scottish comedian. Noted when figures for European violence came out Scotland came top. He commented, "That's because violence was taught in School"! Go Finland!

THANK YOU !! This was totally inspirational. Have shared on teacher group with comment - If one country can do it, it should not be "in Utopia" . CHILDREN HAVE A RIGHT TO GOOD EDUCATION ALL OVER THE WORLD.

Whole world need Finland type schools❤️ from Bharat

How lucky Finish students are You don,t know and even you can,t imagine how much hardship we are facing for education in pakistan

Thank you. 🖤

Well done. What's sucks big time in America is you have to buy so much school supplies before they start school. We cant afford it. School in America isn't about learning. It's about tests, and school is very stressful for kids. Bullying is out of control because of social media. Class room sizes are ridiculous. Weaker students dont get the attention they need, which causes stress and low self worth. They hardly go outside. School lunches are not like when I was in school. There is just so much wrong in American schools. It is sad. Glad Finland got it right

It’s stupid how bad America is at the education system. We are so stressed to get an A on a test and are forced to work until 1am to get homework done!

Ive seen people with bad jobs say they much prefer working a bad job than going to school again

excelent explain

So I'm a student in Uni going into High School education and OMG this sounds like heaven. Little overload on greatness.

Biggest take away: Finland public/govt officials care about the education of their youth. The teachers are better, because they care. It's clear that the political power/money grabs are not the driving forces being their choices.

In the United States most public schools are more concerned with statistical results on a very narrow curriculum than on a broad system of education and expansion of the students' intellect. This is a result of endless summative testing. We are in a deep rut. However, there seems to be a change in the wind and I am happy for it.

Excellent.

Really great video. If Britain was all about student-centred education, we wouldn't be forcing children (primary school ones especially) to spend a ridiculous amount of hours in lessons at school (as well as doing homework) as well as stressing them out with tests. One of the best things I've observed is Forest School where students play in a forest area, bond with others and follow their own interests. It really embodies following a student-centred education. Seeing what education could be like in Britain is somewhat motivating for me as an ex-teacher, but I just feel unprepared and unwilling to go back into the overwhelming nature of the job currently. A year training just wasn't enough for me particularly considering my social struggles and difficulties with confidence growing up. However, I still want to learn about how we can best teach students, since it really is the foundation of our countries culture! Hopefully I can make use of this knowledge in the future.

4:38 that’s my old school! It’s called cygnaeus! It’s actually a Swedish speaking school, but the school system is still the same as all the other schools!

I am from Finöand and I am in 7th grade now. Since I have always been bad at maths. I get help from this one teacher who helps everyone who doesn't understand school subject, like maths. And it really has helped me a lot and I understand More things then before! I got almost an F from my first math test, but when I got The help, I got D+ from The second math test!

Wow! Thrilling! It sounds great! Sign me up! Music and English As a second language.... i would live to be there!!!!!

I´m from Argentina. I really love Finland education. In my country, it´s compulsory to start school at the age of three and four. Honestly, I can´t undestand the reason behind this method, but everyone seems to accept it. We have to take notes from this video.

I AM BILWILDERED WHY DO MY COUNTRY DOES NOT TAKE THIS AS AN EXAMPLE YET? LIKE WHEN WILL OUR COUNTRY MAKE OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM BETTER? JEEZ

All these "moving to Finland" comments make me feel a bit more secure about the country's future. The birth rate is dropping for sure, but maybe it won't become completely desolate here afterall.

Best👌👌👌

Am a teacher and strongly support this .Wish we in India were open minded enough to adopt this

FINLAND!!!

I am Finnish and this education system is wonderful everywhere, except Hanko, where I went to school. The teachers don't care they just want straight A's.

the closest I've ever been to something like this was starting college education, most teachers hate exams but have to do them because the school obligates them to do so, so they mostly either give the exam a low value or make it insanely easy, only few teachers did make énfasis on that the exam was necessary to evaluate us as in things related to math or law but the rest simply wanted us to deliver a great project and be active in class, I've learned so much this way and I worry less for exams, the only few subjects exams are actually useful is where the exam can actually test your knowledge of the subject and no just evaluate what you remember.

Finland basically homeschools their children.

One big elephant in the room is that how and how well are they going to integrate themselves to professional worlds... Ya that's cool about equality and less competitiveness and all that, but getting a job in a competitive capitalistic world doesn't change. How well do those Finnish do against other counterparts from other countries? For example, are there competitive scientists, researchers, engineers, entrepreneurs, etc? There aren't much of big job markets there obviously because of small size of the country. So where does money come from to hire people when companies need to compete globally in their businesses?? A whole cash and talent flow in Finland is obscure for me.

We might not have the world class scientists, but atleast you can drink the tab water here.

We study the philosophy of education while Finland enjoyably applies all of it. This facts made me cry because the country I am in needs decades to achieve this excellent ES. How to be a FINNISH btw? Thinking of a rebirth 😂

I'm going to Finland when I'm older.

Every country should look more at these things...

IKR, its like they never listen to us and ignore everything we say. We know better than our teachers and the government but they never care

This school system is all the stuff I wanna integrate in my school I wanna set up after I finished my studie

I honestly love how coveted teaching is especially when compared to the mess we have here

Before watching this video i didn't really know how much better we have here in Finnish schools (i'm from Finland btw), i'm gonna start in 8th grade after summer..The reason why am telling you this is that we get a new subject called GameIT. GameIT is basically where you play games for 90 minutes (gta, fortnite, call of duty and we'll also make games), the reason we have this is 'cause the teachers thinks we need to feel more excited and happy about goin' to school in the morning, which makes us wanna work harder on ordinary subjects like math and such thing...i.? Really excited about this and also, sorry for my english!😊

I'm from Philippines. I wish my country has these methods and be prosperous both in society and in the individual. Also I know about how Japan has their own unique set of education methods as well.

We need this in the UK

Most American teachers have Masters degrees that they paid for themselves....So Finlands' teaching staff are NOT more qualified than in the US but they are given more respect, more back up, shorter hours, lighter workloads, no homework to correct, a more positive atmosphere and hands on enjoyable approaches to educating.

as an asian, i am incredibly jealous

FRUITY PAI yah you might finish earlier but you might want to go back to 2nd grade because your grammar sucks.

I've met a student from Finland who was in the US in a student exchanged program. He just loved his high school in the US and didn't want to go back to school in Finland. School in the US is a lot of fun. I've also met a few students from Finland in different universities in the US and they all loved studying in the US. There is not a single University in Finland among the 200 best universities in the world. Let's be sincere... at the end people in Finland will ended up working for an American, Chinese, Japanese, British, Korean or German company. All the educational system does in Finland is to prepare De Luxe labor for foreign companies. There is a difference between being educated and being smart.

As a Finnish father of two sons I can tell you that list was more or less correct, albeit a quite bit on the optimistic side. The result of most schools being run by the state is fine in many aspects, but there is also the danger of political indoctrination looming there. It hasn't occurred yet in any worrying scale, mainly thanks to our chaotic political system (more than 10 political parties (usually 4-5 strong ones) are seen in every nationwide election), but the dangerous mechanism is there.

👍FELICITACIONES Finlandia. 👏👏. Pienso que la superacion academica no solo la posee el lugar,si no el grado de INTELIGENCIA he interes del individuo. El inteligente,crea, construeye y dirige.Con RESPETO, es mi opinion. 🤝🤝🤝🤝

I have no complaints about the system, but what made my school a not so great experience was the fact that the teachers i had weren't so great. Maybe that can be explained with the fact that i was in a relatively remote village school, but the teachers made me hate school very hard at parts of my life (and caused a huge amount of stress upon going to school)
