The Finnish education system is amazing, the classes are much smaller meaning more one to one with teachers, more classroom discussions and easier learning!
English classrooms are very full sometimes and this can be very overwhelming for the teacher - this also has a downside of not much one to one able to happen.
Finland do not mainly base their education on exams, in fact, they have no exams apart from one!
England base their education on exams, you have primary exams (age 11) called SATS, high school exams called GCSEs and upper-level exams called ALEVELS - this puts a lot of pressure on us here as we need to be able to pass these exams to continue our education - again this puts pressure on teachers and students.
"Finland might be a country of just of just under 5.5 million, and a per-pupil budget that falls below the UK and the US. But it also happens to produce the smartest, most well-rounded students. Part of the reason for this, and perhaps the key reason, is that it chooses to ignore these statistics, and focus on the promotion of teaching autonomy, creative learning, and equal ability classes.
But before delving into the specifics, it’s worth considering the statistics that have turned the heads of teaching professionals across the globe. In Finland, 66% of pupils attend university. The difference between the strongest and the weakest students is the smallest on earth. 93% of students graduate from secondary education. This is evidently an education system that works."
