Finland's Education

Finland is the most successful country in the world in terms of educating children. There are three secret reasons to success their education
1. The Finland considers and believe educating their children and learning is their culture. Education must be a respected and admired part of your culture. Finland built and secured its national identity in the 19th century through investing in education for all and when independence was achieved, the base was there to develop further.

2. The policy run over as every child must be educated, “Leave no child behind” was a slogan adopted in Finnish schools long before it became popular in the US. Pupils with learning difficulties are patiently brought up to the average level of their classmates by teachers and assistants who give them the extra attention and support they need to catch up.

3. Highly qualified teachers with compassion are used. Only 11% of applicants to the teaching profession are accepted, which means that the most motivated are selected. Here again, respect for the vocation of teaching ensures that talented students choose the profession.
