Since its founding in 1920, the Harvard Graduate School of Education has been training leaders to transform education in the United States and around the globe. Today, our faculty, students, and alumni are studying and solving the most critical challenges facing education: student assessment, the achievement gap, urban education, and teacher shortages, to name just a few. Our work is shaping how people teach, learn, and lead in schools and colleges as well as in after-school programs, high-tech companies, and international organizations. The HGSE community is pushing the frontiers of education, and the effects of our entrepreneurship are improving the world.
It's a good video, but the comments are really bad. We should spend less time attacking others and more time thinking how to make our system better.
folks tend to get a bit sour when the reality is beaten accross their faces. "wait, what? im NOT the king of the world?"
The comments aren't bad at all. They're actually very politely saying "pull your head out of your ass."
Imagine differentiated instruction, collaborative learning, and student-centered learning, all in one. Teachers who have not used Sabere Synergistic Board will be overworked and burned out. SSB is sweeping Asia. Asian schools are adopting this evolution in education. Go figure!!! It makes the teacher's job easy and increases students' engagement, learning, and learning gains. It is the board that teachers usually say "Oh my god" when they see it. Check it out. It will turn your teaching life around. Innovation Drives Education!!!
It is astonishing. The amount of similalarities in teaching strategies to the United States. One thing I must add though is that the way that Americans view education is more for the sake of leverage in the job market than for the benefit of the generations to come (those that will eventually reach adulthood).

your presentation creates more interest on education system & its importance.
THANK YOU SIR.
I am watching this right now from Kenya and it's a fantastic educational piece I must say .As a teacher I have learnt a lot.
American education is designed to train obedience to arbitrary power and obedient to do as much labor as possible ,under the euphemism of student accountability
reachforacreech: Plus a hefty does of Elitism thrown in.
Sad truth

That's how it's done in Finland as well.
Watching it in 2024 and still feels so up-to-date.
International studies once showed that Finnish student performance was below average. The Government wanted improvement and sent educators around the world to see what worked in other countries. The government decided to abolish their selective system and grammar schools were replaced with comprehensive schools. The Government decided to have mixed ability classes with no streaming or setting.
The Government introduced a law so that all children have a 15 minute break after 45 minutes of teaching. This prevents cognitive overload for pupils and teachers. Pupils value their frequent breaks and are reluctant to lose any through misbehaviour.
The work ethic and discipline are excellent in Finnish primary and secondary classrooms and these allow good teaching and learning to be achieved. Teachers insist on quietness while the teacher is speaking. Pupils are also taught to respect each other. In primary schools a cuddly toy is given to a pupil and this allows only one pupil to speak in the discussion circle. The other pupils listen in silence and wait for their turn to speak.
The Government sets out a curriculum that is short with only a few pages of text per subject. The curriculum is not overwhelming, leaving time in the year for teachers to plan local activities and test national innovations. The Government set out the number of hours of study per subject per year after a consultation process with teachers every ten years.
The Government works with Universities to implement teacher training. Teacher training stresses the implementation of active learning strategies, problem solving, monitoring, feedback and the idea of the teacher as a researcher.
‘Class teachers’ are trained to teach pupils between the ages of 7 to 13. They teach all subjects (Finnish, Swedish, Maths, Music, PE, Art, RE, Science and English) in a mixed ability class with less than 20 pupils. They keep the same class from year to year and soon know the pupils that need extra support.
Science is taught to very young pupils as environmental science. This allows the opportunity for outdoor education and integration with geography. The national curriculum for older primary pupils directs them to study the basic concepts of biology, physics and chemistry.
‘Subject teachers’ teach pupils aged 13+. Teachers on exchange visits comment that lessons are not drastically different to those in their countries and comment that Finnish teachers are not ‘super teachers’ but are very involved with individual pupil learning and pupil progress.
Lessons have various activities with a focus on checking that learning has been successful. Teacher talk (passive learning) is balanced by active learning (e.g. reading, summarising, quizzes and questions from the textbook. Problem solving is also common and pupils work individually to solve the problem set. This could involve practical work). The Finnish lesson often ends with a short written test. Peer to peer discussions are sometimes used as this requires reflection about learning and a bright pupil is paired with a less able pupil. Each has to explain what they have learned in the lesson. Homework is very brief. Science theory lessons are balanced by practicals designed to encourage problem solving.
Continuous assessment for an older secondary school pupil using a textbook involves a range of assessments:-
1. Attendance and behaviour ...10%
2. Homework ...20%
3. Short tests at the end of each textbook chapter (one page of questions) ...30%
4. An end of term test includes one question from each chapter (or an essay) and an extra ‘problem solving’ question. The latter is very difficult for pupils and it tests the ability to apply a concept in a novel situation ...40%.
Teachers enjoy their jobs and few leave teaching. Girls and boys state they are very satisfied with their wellbeing in PISA studies. Finland is consistently towards the top in PISA tests for educational attainment.
The Government approves science and mathematics textbooks for older pupils that have been tried and tested in schools. Textbooks have teacher guides and these provide lesson plans for teachers for every term. They also contain extension material, printouts and projects. Textbooks are supplemented with free internet material. Parents pay for these textbooks. Parents also pay for laptop computers for older pupils. These pupils do projects and research on the internet. Other pupils and the teacher comment critically on their progress at weekly presentations and a project may last for three weeks. It is assessed on a scale of 10 (excellent) to 4 (fail) by the teacher.
The Government directs examination boards to set questions that assess the understanding of concepts and their application in novel situations rather than just factual recall. The application of knowledge (problem solving) is a higher order of skill in Blooms Taxonomy of Learning. There is a minimum reliance on multiple choice questions as these are viewed as only useful for testing factual recall. The possibility of guessing also reduces the reliability of this type of test.
The Government introduced several layers of accountability. Pupils are made accountable to teachers through continuous assessment. Continuous assessment involves short tests periodically and end of term tests for all subjects. Copies of marked papers are sent home and parents have to sign a document to say they have read the report. Teachers input grades into a national database called WILMA. Teachers discuss pupil progress, behavioural problems and innovations with the headteacher every term. Parents can be invited to the school to discuss issues and the school psychologist and school social worker may be involved. The headteacher is made aware of their own school progress through external government tests. These do not occur every year for every school. Tests only examine a 10% sample of Finnish schools when pupils are 12 (end of primary school) and 15 (end of middle school). Pupils are informed of the test on the day and not before. For example English may be tested at 12 and Mathematics may be tested at 15. The school results are not published. The tests are designed to test whether pupils have reached a minimum standard rather than being designed to rank pupils. They give feedback as to how well the national curriculum is being implemented. Inspectors can visit and support a school if results are poor.
The Government is now reviewing the curriculum to periodically introduce topics that require strategies which are needed in modern industry, such as working together, confidence with IT and creativity. It is compulsory to have one cross curricular project in each class in each year. Environmental studies are popular.
The Government spends much less on education than many other countries despite having small class sizes and insisting that schools intervene quickly to support the less able in the classroom. They also provide free school meals and snacks. Schools also employ a psychologist and a social worker and these may be shared in rural areas. Finland does not have the enormous expense involved in SAT testing and the cost of hundreds of Government school inspectors. Finland does not have the huge costs involved for a national test in all subjects at 16. Parents pay for examination entries at 18.
There are a few international private schools in cities in Finland. They follow the national curriculum and they are directly accountable to the Government.
The results of continuous assessment are used at 15 (end of middle school) to decide whether a pupil will follow an academic route (58%) or a vocational route (42%). Counsellors meet with pupils to discuss their options. Borderline pupils can opt to take some nationwide examinations in a few subjects to try to improve their grade. This could allow them access to the academic route or to a very popular school in a city.
Vocational studies include Technology and Transport, Business and Administration, Health and Social Services, Tourism, Catering and Home Economics, Culture, Natural Resources and Physical Education. Work experience is part of each course. 25% of the course is in the core curriculum subjects. Skills and a project are assessed by an evaluator.
The first mandatory national examinations for ‘academic’ pupils are at the age of 18 (end of upper secondary) and these allow entry to a university. Continuous assessment grades from their school for the six subjects studied are also considered in applications. Some universities also set their own examinations.
‘Vocational’ pupils can opt to attend a polytechnic (University of Applied Sciences) or go into full time employment.
The Government in Finland has abandoned the idea that the curriculum should be written by a University academic and a Government team and then sent out for approval. Instead the Government relies on many hundreds of teachers to input ideas. They comment on what actually works to promote learning. The curriculum is rewritten every ten years and this involves focus groups and national trials.
Finland uses continuous assessment while many other countries use multiple SAT testing. Singapore has been an advocate of regular SAT testing to monitor and hopefully drive up results but has recently decided to abandon two statutory tests for young primary children and will stop two more tests at primary and two at secondary within the next three years. Singapore has been a world class leader with regard to PISA results but in 2015 there were 27 suicides among secondary pupils.
Yes Sir I agree!
ellvishie ... Are you a student in Finland?
Very informative. Thank you

32:05 basically gets down to the root of America's problem, and probably the problem in many other struggling countries. Parental choice means that wealthy parents, in a highly unequal environment, will rescue their kids out of bad systems and build private options, or drive average folks out of public options. When people are all forced to be in the same boat, like in an egalitarian society, the relatively rich have to campaign for policies that help everyone. If a wealthy Finn wants their children to go to a good school, they simply advocate for their existing system. In America, we argue about vouchers, lotteries, etc, as the rich scramble to flee off the sinking boats. As the few wealthy, influential folks with the best ability to change things leave a school, the outcomes get worse and worse, exacerbating the generational inequality that started it in the first place. The US has more in common with developing countries in this regard...the difference is that we have the wealth to fix it, but not the national will. Most people aren't mad at the inequality- they just want their own shot at being the big dog on top.
Delusional view. In reality only rich kids get into higher level of education. Finland literally check information of people's backround before doing entrance exam to see how many people from lower classes get inside of the schools. The thing is that rich families can afford for private tutors who give huge edge over those who don't have one. Thus poor kids can never get into best schools without studying their brains out. Plus the quality of universities is lower than in USA.
USA has public schools as well. You're just mad that you can't enter harvard for free.
wow what humility! respect to finland!

Linux, Nokia, IRC, molotov coctails, sauna, Angry birds, lapua ammo, etc. These are all Finnish products/inventions and there are much more.
I have no idea how I got here but I watched the whole thing with great intrest. Thanks for uploading.
Great.. Wonderful talk
Really inspiering and meaningfull class.
Thank you for sharing this.
''accountability is left when responsibility is taken away''
It was a long lecture with many explanations well done!
Excellent learning from Finland Education.
Excellent delivery! I look forward to seeing the Finnish educational reform in Ghana.
Thanks for the video.
There are other videos on Finland's education system and the comments are turned off for some reason. If people in other countries want to improve public education, beginning a public discussion and sharing ideas in a comment section would be helpful.
This is a fantastic presentation. Very systematic, entertaining, and with clear explanations. Thank you.

This guy is awesome!
I like your presentation
i've been wanting to read his book; not readily available - yet
The last few questions were really interesting. I wish they didn't rush the answers so much
Maybe the Philippine Education System needs to adopt some of Finland"s strategies on basic education.
I checked your page. Why no entries? I'm Pinoy.
Very interesting. I learnt a lot. I would contradict on 1 thing. My country Sri Lanka has free public education to all from grade 1 to university
"Russian empire the day before, Soviet Union yesterday, Russian Federation today", we Finns and our education system haven't kept track of the name changes since Finland's independency.
Certainly not English ones. More concern about "What do Russians think about Finland?" really. No, why would someone actually need all those English names in Finland? To study Russian history? Russian, Finnish and Swedish would be better languages for that... maybe Norway and Estonian too. Or Polish.
This is sooo inspiring to learn from Finland. Education in free for all
It's not free, it's paid with slavery of future generations.
Actually he was using the "Russian federation" in the sense that most of us know it, few know too much history, especially Russian history. So using a word or term that is more rooted in peoples awareness is the right thing to do
+snailmessia As a history buff "Russian federation" in the WWI period just sounds wrong :l
Your English is fluent excellent.
Life is to love and to be loved 💘 Love alone can Conquer the World
As a Finn, there is one MAJOR problem that no one ever seems to address when talking about our education system: Despite our high level of education and massive amount of highly educated (Bachelor/Master/PhD), we are doing disastrously bad in terms of business and economy. Sweden is much lower in terms of education results, but they are much more well-off in terms of business and economy. In other words, our high education is not helping us in terms of money and standard of living. We were the only EU country to have negative economic growth last year. Our purchase power is on the level of Greece.
***** Correlation does not imply causation. Education is always good for its own sake.
***** Why is that?
+VortechBand Having Helsinki as in the Top ten list of best cities to live in, having a great welfare state, also having yourself in the top ten list of every aspects, you have something to complain about you, no Wonder you are a Finn :D. Truly I don't have words to express my love to you and your country. I lived in Finland for 8 years and I know if I have opportunity again I will go there and spend rest of my life there. About your growth??? don't worry, you will be doing great soon. cause Finland has people like you who can criticize their country. Thank you.
+VortechBand My dear Finnish Friend!! As a Greek i have to congratulate your country for its educational system because as a Greek i live for knowledge and not for business. I have to congradulate Finnish people because during their crisis they reacted absolutely correct by choosing the principle less is more . You followed systematically the Platonic principles of learning and without knowing that you create a contemporary model of education that excisted in Classical and Hellenistic period. For this and only for this i have your country in my heart. Becase it follows another path than the neurotic Western path of more and more without knowing why. When this bubble will be exploded you will recognize the value of education because education creates wise people and not necesarily reach. My country has collapsed financially after a very carefully scheduled geoplitical game and as education is forced to follow western parametres it has also collapsed or at least decreased in quality parameters. I am 50 years old doctor . When i was student my country was poor. It didn t passed yet under the path of artificially via lending money from banks wellingness. In the decade of 80 s Greek students were the only students in Europe that they did not have the obligation to study a preparational pre universitarian year in order to study in a European University. We followed our way of learning the individual Greek way of learning. Now were educational index show Greece almost in the bottom of Europe a paradox comes to dispute the way of learning as it has been established because of AngloSaxonic model s dominance. Although that our level of education is considered according to the international meters low Greeks althou they are only a 10million in 7 billion whole world population they represent 3% of the academic society world wide. this percentage is at least 30 times bigger. Do you know why? Can you explain that according to the principle demanding a knowledge coexisting with purchasing power , or a number of research? 20 research papers might say absoltely nothing and a word , a simple word might defeat the and make the useless. this actually means the Western civilization as we know it is starting to dye. You must consider your self as lucky because you have the ability to invest in knowledge. Do not expect from education to make you reach. Only a poor American teen expects this because this is the environment he grew. Knowledge for sure will make you wiser and more experienced and will help you to stand up again after a fail. There is no guarantee that knowledge could make you even happy. but at least it shall make you prowd active citizent and able to recover from almost anything.
that is because they have alexander bard
swedish business is all about music business ;)
usin' it for jmun!
What? The quality is decent, and what matters is the sound anyway so I don't know why you're complaining.
Fiinns are the best people in the world.. They are just great
We can all be the best people in the world if we learn from them just as they learned from others. But again it's always national pride and bigotry that get in the way, we choose to compete instead of collaborating to help each other improve.

Its about getting the idea not details
Very good points made in this video. The value of education is not understood here in this country, the value of making money is how success is measured. Finland does not compare to the USA because of the immigration factor, however, Germany's system fits perfectly. The US educational system is a one shoe fits all, and that is completely wrong. The system is only benefitting those who will attend college, but 75% do not attend college, so where do they go?

The Way to Live, by 'Billy' Eduard Albert Meier (BEAM). This book has 500 passages. The first passage - "1) The Seven Steps of the Education. The happenings of the world depend on the thoughts. I) As the first step, the human being must search for and find the truth and, out of that, learn and widen the knowledge. II) As the second step, the human being must correct his/her thoughts, using control and direct them to the truth of his/her attained knowledge. III) As the third step, the human being must create his/her inner harmony by means of his/her knowledge and by means of his/her thoughts. IV) As the fourth step, the human being must - proceeding out of his/her inner harmony - correct, order, form and harmonise his/her own personality. V) As the fifth step, the human being must correct, order, form and harmonise his/her direct surroundings and his/her family life and life with his/her relatives. VI) As the sixth step, the human being must correct, order, form and harmonise his/her closer environment of the friends, comrades and acquaintances. VII) As the seventh step, the human being is then capable of correcting, ordering, forming, harmonising and leading a group of human beings, the mass of humanity, the country and the world in a form which is wise, which is fair to the human being and which is creational-natural-law-based."
Agin, teach children to think! As I'm,m thought
wow,he is very handsome for his age !!
Few comments:
* Too much nonsense talking, I want to hear specifics on the system and structure.
* Create and exchange teacher program that allows teachers a hands-on experience.
* US is not monocultural and our economies are way different. We do not compare apples to oranges. Having said that, our educational system has to be restructured to fit the needs of our economy.
* Our diversity is what makes this country appealing to everyone. We need to create a system that works for the US of 2020.....not what works for Finland today.
I am a science teacher 12 years on the job and 10 years experience in the manufacturing world. Our educational system is not structured to satisfy our customers (students).
If I had a chance I will make everything work. People in the higher ranks really have no idea what they are doing.
*read the title, it is not for system and structure specifics.
*Exchanging can be done between two equal or similar level of schools.
*He mentions that the same system won't work, but what can be done to improve.

OMG. Just can't believe it.
I think the ultimate reason behind our deterioration here in my country Algeria is educational system...we disrespect this pilot field...the reason why ...we've failed in many others fields..and then we'will not able to build any progress...
In our country parents are reluctant to accept that their children have special needs so we are mostly unable to help them. Early intervention is very difficult unless the child is acutely affected.
Finland's ranking is dropping at a breakneck pace. Education had been independent in schools. Now Politicians and senior officials make themselves important and, in their own opinion now, “invent” good new methods and projects to make the system more efficient. The teaching is now mixed up. The ranking will drop drastically.
Even officials sites block all commets.
Listen to Yoda you must.
IS THERE A WALDORF PHILOSOPHY BEHIND THE FINN EDU SYSTEM?
Finland should not be compared on a basis with other countries especially the US. The US is a huge country with a long history of progress that has reached the whole world in a span of 246 years. This progress has come directly as a result of public education.
there is some finland school teacher that can tell my at what age use italic? do it's curricular ? In italy there is some struggle about this. Some learning disorders don't use it.
If they can ensure that every poor kid can go to the school where the prime minister's kid is going to too and every poor student can go to the university where the prime minister's son is going to too, that's the end of the education problem in your country. - Poor Cambodia
The world will now learn from Finland education.... US should admit it...
US always had many great ideas but it seems like other countries have adopted them for their benefits and growth. Hmmm. Are we just thinkers and never the doers? Also, we have been busy wondering what’s in it for me rather than what’s in it for ALL. It reminds me of an excerpt from the JFK’s inaugural speech, “Ask not what your country can do for you- but ask what you can do for your country “

I would like to speak 3 or 4 languages too, But I'm too stupid. I'm so curious about this for a long time, Why English is so easy for anyone else? Such as Singapore, Finland, India. It's like English is also their language as well. In the other hand, it's so hard for us! What happened?
Dear Madam/Sir
I'm from Europe, the Czech Republic. The corporate ability is a creative thinking and languages but we are not High Tech, we are not creative leaders. You are!!
You are not stupid at all. You have different beautiful gifts, abilities, potential!!!
You are so gifted! Go and do talents test for some $ and you will see all new prisms about you! You don't need to speak 4 languages. You have only different national corporate ability!!
Good luck!

For a country that is so concerned about ROI, the people of the United States have failed in this area for generations. DEI programs can be strengthened if we invest in these foundational pieces: universal healthcare, early childhood education, and free daycare. Invest in people.

Linux is of Finnish origin. Another thing to make use of in any system, starting from cutting costs to roll everything nowadays. Sad to see, that Finland, the home of Linux, still relies on expensive and unreliable Microsoft products. Germany already started the transition from Windows 10 years ago.
Perkele. That's the only word you need.
he is very handsome ;)
at 54:10, Why couldn't she say "I love children"??
You can say that, it is just that Pasi is not native English speaker. But saying that alone is not enough. Because every applicant likes children, that is the bare minimum that is expected from teachers in Finland. They want applicants that are passionate about teaching. Only top 5% of applicants get to become teachers, in that context simply "I love children" is not good enough, very far from it.
@@JoniPetteriKivisto Thank you very much for the explanation. Are you from Finland and someone very familiar with the education system? I just want to confirm that your explanation is the actual reason so that I can tell with others (in China) how the education system in Finland works.
@@user-fs4rc4en8r I'm from Finland and reasonably familiar with the system. But I can confirm that is what Pasi means here.
When he says "you can't say this" he actually means "She should have given much better reason why she should be accepted." He translated Finnish saying into English too directly and the message changes a bit. A common mistake when Finns speak English. Pasi is good English speaker but he made a small mistake there.
@@JoniPetteriKivisto Great! Then what do you mean by "passionate about teaching"? Do you have some more objective criteria? Is there something else that is required to be a teacher in Finland?
@@user-fs4rc4en8r Well I don't know the details but they are looking for social people who are good with kids and good at teaching.
They want people who are very driven and motivated to become good teachers. Being highly intelligent and knowledgeable has no value in teaching unless you are able to transfer that knowledge to the children efficiently.
We don't believe in strictness or violence but in kindness and freedom in teaching. Teacher is like a friendly coach that helps student to reach their personal best. Everybody is different and is allowed to stay different. We try to eliminate all the stress and bad feelings from school. Learning and developing ones skills is fun and elevating for children as long as adults don't ruin it. Learning should be fun adventure for children.
My only complaint with this video is that when he is giving his and his audience's attention to the PowerPoint, the video stays on him and refuses to show it until after he has concluded his point, or stays on it right until he is about to make his point and then shifts back to him.
It's very frustrating, and whoever edited the video did not do so competently.

To the dude with the name in Cyrillic: Finland encourages individualized education, perhaps the good doctor thought history was boring as fuck, and decided not to focus on it.
Well, listening to that Finnish guy makes it clear where Schwarcheneggar came from.
Schwarchenegger came fron Austria.
there is something in this video that bothers me, ok?
The Finnish Neil Patrick Harris
Finnish education paradigm does not waste, talent, skills, individuality, and people...
And nine years later you can come and learn how to ruin perfectly good educational system. Some pointers include unneeded digitalization, reform for reforms sake, inclusion of 'diverse' students, removal of special education classes, removal of testing, removal of grading, phenomenon-based learning, dismantling of teachers authority and "self guidance" from elementary school onwards. Old (and working) Finnish education system was based on modified East German model but that has been dismantled over the years.
Thank you Sweden for civilizing Finland
teh fock? Swedish people treated us like slaves and lesser humans.
@@Tespri Look you're just being swedophobic. If it wasn't for Sweden, Helsinki wouldn't even exist. Additionally, Finland owes its first university to Sweden. Are slave masters commonly concerned about higher learning opportunities for their thralls? I truly doubt it.
@@JoseHernandez-ql8vw swedophobic? Now you're just inventing words.
Pick a history book, with your name I can tell that you're not Swede nor Finnish so you have no clue about our common history. Swedes treated finns like slaves and there are actually academic writings of their academics when Finland was still part of Sweden were they call Finnish people as sub-humans.
"Finland owes its first university to Sweden."
That's like saying that African country X owns their first train to europeans. If you can't see what is wrong with that statement then you have bigger issues than inventing new words.
@@Tespri The point is you seem to cling to this irrational hate towards all things Swedish. Are you a PS member? Not sure what my name has to do with anything. Royal Academy of Åbo was meant to be a center of erudition, hardly comparable to third world rail infrastructure. No one would bother educating someone they perceive to be a slave. You learned Swedish for four years, does that not count for something? What a beautiful legacy, no other country in the world outside of Sweden has mandatory Swedish in school.
@@JoseHernandez-ql8vw It's not hate to point out historic facts of how Swedish people treated Finnish people for hundreds of years while Finland was under them.
Should I also mention that Sweden did commit crusades on Finland? Where is you apology for that? Since you seem to do that for Muslims but not for Finnish people who you colonized.
"Royal Academy of Åbo was meant to be a center of erudition, hardly comparable to third world rail infrastructure"
Note ROYAL academy. Finnish people weren't being let in. Only Swedish royalty who was managing the colony. Finnish people were kept poor and in slavery in heir farms.
This only changed after ruzkiez invaded Finland and gave the autonomy.
"No one would bother educating someone they perceive to be a slave."
Free education wasn't a thing back then. Only rich people get into academy.
In other words Swedish people.
"You learned Swedish for four years, does that not count for something?"
Learning language of oppressors sure does one make feel god does it not? It's as if your cultural identity is being erased.
" no other country in the world outside of Sweden has mandatory Swedish in school."
That's because Finland is only country they colonized.
Filmed with a potato.
This live ghannel, how :)
Finland you have no idea what respect we have for the teachers. being teacher in finland is like being a lawyer or a judge. However, the salary is the same as that of a carer for the elderly,
1:11:18 "I dont know how slavery worked in Finland..."
Whoa at the ignorance and self centeredness behind this. Or did I missunderstand something?
Slavery was really rare in Finland. There were people who lived in almost food wage but a "full slavery" was really rare. Personally, I don't really know about slavery either.
Maybe the most similar case may be a servant family that worked for generation for the family in pretty bad conditions, but even then they weren't "slaves".
I might be wrong since I'm no historian. So anyone who knows better can correct me.
Approach to education is a global problem: how? what? to teach. Educators are searching in the Net, especially educators from "low teaching standards" countries. There is no ideal educational system in the world. But there is an educational desire to give students necessary knowledge for living, at least for entering the higher education establishments.
I think we can`t avoid the idea of national approach in everything.
Imagine differentiated instruction, collaborative learning, and student-centered learning, all in one. Teachers who have not used Sabere Synergistic Board will be overworked and burned out. SSB is sweeping Asia. Asian schools are adopting this evolution in education. Go figure!!! It makes the teacher's job easy and increases students' engagement, learning, and learning gains. It is the board that teachers usually say "Oh my god" when they see it. Check it out. It will turn your teaching life around. Innovation Drives Education!!!
im angry and im biird
Greece has free, public education, too.
Their school teach them, no need too much hard work, no need too creative and innovative, just like Nokia, cannot compete with rest of the world, sell it off.
This is best education!
That is not true.
Finland has no minimum wage
they also have strong union protections, have supressed capitalism and invest in their people. also yes they effectively do have a minimum wage because of national unions and its FAR higher than yours
I am not going to listen to this I am finnish but black and I am glad my daughter lest where she can be human. so . education here is ok but life is hell
Comparing Finland with the entire US is meaningless. How about comparing Finland to Maine/VT/RI. Similar size and demo. That would be more appropriate and more practical. This is lazy.
that's not how numbers work... sorry you don't like facing facts about your country but they are what they are. the adult thing to do is to try and improve it
@@afgor1088 my point went right over your head. That's ok. Just sit back down.
@@bootcamptrader dude ... get a life. (fyi comparing with small states, finalnd is STILL better)
@@afgor1088 we are the most diverse melting pot in the history of the world. That presents unique situations in education that Finland knows nothing about. If you think you can compare two education systems without accounting for the diversity of situations of the students involved, you are wrong. There are too many variables involved that impact results. Which ones are causal, and to what extent, is impossible to know. So if you want to compare you'll have to pick states with similar size and demograohics. And I may be wrong, but I don't see many top students from all over the world coming to Finland to get educated. They come to the US.
@@bootcamptrader stay mad loser, didn't think it'd take you long to turn full on racist.
"wE caNt EduCatE pEoPlE beCauSe SoMe oF tHem ArEnT wHite"
"In 1914 Finland was a part of Russian Federation" on 5:23 - what a shame for such a highly educated person from the country with "the best educational system in the world" not to know the history of their own country properly! In 1914 the Russian Federation did not yet exist at all!!! Finland was then a part of the Russian Empire. The Russian Federation actually started in 1991.
We sometimes mix the different Russias:
Kievan Rus
Tsardom of Russia
Russian empire
The USSR
Russian Federation
There are just so many of them
Sour grapes!
Selected the wrong word in a foreign language. So ?
I guess that this is not an issue because every literate person understands that there must be put "current" or even if it is a mistake, one mistake in an oral speech does not characterise the whole knowledge and expertise of aperson. Dont you ever make errors or you are perefec?
All of this it`s not true! Nice speak thou.. nice thoughts.. but when Pasi says: in Finland our system it´s not about standardization but personalization... I just speak with my daughter`s teacher today and I told him, my daughter have a good skills in wood- and metalworks and I don`t get it why she got a number 7? from technics.. she were ill and she hasn't abele to finish her metal work...but work what she has done.. it`s better like 9 or 10, example a teacher always ask for my daughter, do I did that for you and daughter says, no, I made it.. my father and brothers are housebuilders and professional.. and they say: VERY good JOB! It must be at least 9... I say, nope, a teacher gives a number 7... is this personalized? NO, it is not... Teacher answer to me today: What I should give to those whom work was a readymade and good ones too.. 12 or 13 .. I say no.. 10 of course.. but that seven it`s not a telling really about my daughter skills to do wood and metal works... it's only telling, she has been ill and she is little bit shine to use machines..like the first time... but that work it`s so stunning that teacher always thought that he has made it himself... and if you behave it`s not correct it also put your number down... sometimes I think, what kind of superhuman they expect, really. We have in Finland a different number to how you behave in school... but in nowadays, even you are good in English, math, Sweden, or gym.. if you did not behave all time correctly, your numbers go down... no matter what, that's not fair. Oh really personalization.. not happen in the real word, or if it happens, those teachers are a pure gold... I like to meet them. Here are many things very very very good, but if we are think everything it`s wonderful and good, there is nothing to make better, we go back to the forest. I study industrial design but teaching is, at some point poor.. it depends on teacher.. and money, now the government are cutting and cutting education finance and we see that in our classrooms. Teachers are not willing to teach.. they don`t care.. they are unhappy... But when exchange students come, they give them to every best effort.. time, knowledge and everything, I don`t know why ?? Is that so important how other countries see us - Or do we Finns really matter anymore... to our own country? I have heard from other students saying: Study by DIY engineer, so much self-learning, no lessons with teacher..anymore. Our daughter is studying in homeschool now and I have to learn 3D- programs by my self.. or maybe some other students will teach me... In Finland, we are soon going to have a system, where we don`t have a teaching anymore, cos they assume us to be self-teaching, superhumans. Oh Happy day, when Jesus come!
I can understand this Finn being arrogant about their educational system He gives credit to their progress due to their socolistic politics. HOWEVER, let's see if they educate their flock of their newly arrived immigrants. LOL
MooseHead Immigrants are people. As the Finnish model shows, treat people like... well people and it works out well.
Where on this earth have you stuck your head in? Haven't you understand what is happening in many countries in Europe? Dude if you really believe this then why are not helping these immigrants. Finnish educational model only works with upper class whites.
You know Finland's neighboring country Norway uses the American Educational System and they are the same culture and "white", but they are doing terribly. I believe Finnish education model works for all.
Not only that but in Finland teachers are the most prestigious job in Finland, more important than being the president. They believe in giving everyone equal opportunity, so it doesn't matter what class or race you are, did you even watch the video and pay attention to the words that the man is saying?
Also if you still deny this and still firmly believe that the Finnish educational model only works with upper class whites, then imagine what would happen if an upper class white family adopt children of different ethnicity and raise them? They would all do extremely well because they have that opportunity and this brings it back to how immigrants here aren't doing well. What they need wasn't equality but equity, they don't have the same benefits as the upper class do and it has nothing to do with race but rather their individual values and cultural values.
no
not true
all lies
