I´m from Finland. Now I kinda feel bad for being so privileged. I hope that some day everyone in the world get the same opportunities as I did. I hated school as a kid, but now I´m so grateful for all the teachers who honestly cared and helped me trough those tough years.
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 am a public school teacher. Just let me say that America’s education system sucks! I’m a teacher because I want to see these children experience the joy of learning new things! Instead, they learn how to conform and take standardized tests. IN AMERICA, CREATIVITY IS FROWNED UPON. As teachers, we are to teach what we are told, how we are told, what we can grade, and exactly how to grade it.
Omgosh couldn't agree with you more!! I'm a teacher in the UK and we have the SAME problem 😩 if you Google it, you'll see that teaching is one of the most stressful jobs in England - mainly due to the points you've mentioned in your comment. The only reason I've stayed in this profession is because of the children
He didn't say it in the video, but in Finland we have art, creative writing, crafts and music lessons throughout all the school years .Creativity is important and it's important in all the learning! The kids can for example learn about different plants in biology and then in art lessons they can learn to draw some of the plants they have studied before. It makes learning fun and enjoyable.
This helps me be so glad that I was homeschooled when I lived in the USA. My parents taught me basics and encouraged me to learn anything I was interested in. Before I turned twelve, I had studied historic architecture, geology, geography, palaeontology, archeology, and was an advanced violin student. I started college when I was 13 and got a two-year degree instead of graduating high school.
@@chisaten Unfortunately not everyone has parents who are capable of teaching their children multiple subjects. We all have different talents, that determine how we make a living. An electrician, a car mechanic a plumber, vital work in modern society, probably would not have the ability or time to teach their children all that they need to know.
Finnish schools seem like heaven to me. Being an American I can only dream of a place, I was kinda hoping for an education reform with Trump but it's whatever I guess. The US stresses tests WAYYY too much and it stresses everyone out to where a study said the average high schoolers stress levels were that of a mentally insane person in 1900's. I really like the fact Finnish people don't stress tests and look at the human aspect of things.
Studying is always work!! But remember what you get!!! Free education, free healthcare, free school meal, free university education, etc. Maybe you should look into the mirror. We have opportunities in heaven. But I know. The circumstances where you come from, mean a lot.
Thanks for making this video. As a Finn it was nice to see something about my country. I'm also very pleased that you clearly have done proper research on the topic. I was already bracing myself to hear how "Finnish schools have no homework" like I've seen falsely claimed many, many times. I'm happy to see a very factually accurate video of the Finnish school system.
I don’t know if other states do this but in California we are giving preschoolers homework I remember when my nieces the oldest one is eight and the youngest five coming home with packets of homework and I used to volunteer at a school and was a T.A. for the kindergarten class I helped the teacher make their homework packets they took home every week. I was born in 1984 and started school at four ( preschool) I started first grade in 1991 that is when I started getting homework at age six and it was just two worksheets one math work sheet and one letter work sheet. When did you all start to get homework and was it a lot or a little bit?
Shawn, the USA actually spends a huge amount per student on education. One of the highest in the world, and actually more than Finland. You just don't see the amounts as much because it's spent by the states and not the Federal government.
@@jalo7289 Are there schools in America where more than 50 % of the kids are immigrants whose mother tongue isn't English? The video said that the Finnish system works better even for these types of schools. (Finnish is technically not spoken in other countries, so "immigrant background" is almost equal to speaking less Finnish.)
Im so so jalouse of them. I’m living in Switzerland and the only that I feel at school is stress, anxiety and the need to end this quickly. I really hope that we can have these kind of education soon all around the world
I completely agree. This is a recurring theme throughout us culture. Just look at the private prison system, everything revolves around making money as fast as possible
Agree whole heartedly. I am an ESL teacher in Canada and have had experience with students from a multitude of countries from around the world. The secret to successful education systems is based on co-operation and not individualism. In my experience, systems that are based on strict curriculum, standardized testing and outcomes based only on career objectives, even when "successful", result in less happiness generally than an approach like Finland's.
EXACTLY!! Me, too and I took my A levels in Finland, this film was mostly total nonsense, Finland HAS the best school system but not for all of these reasons!! I agree with arguments 1 and 8, otherwise, what a crap!
Just ask homeschoolers about that less school is better thing. They consistently do better than their public school peers at only a fraction of the time spent.
Michael Szilagyi this is very accurate. My friend was homeschooled since he was in first grade, now he takes advanced courses and does very well on them.
+Tammy FAV Uuuuhhh. Sure. That's why I guess? 😂. But seriously. Education is such a huge problem in this country, and our society had gradually and systematically gained a very negative attitude towards School and education through various means. E.g. Shitty lunches, making school competitive instead of collaborative, making students wake up early, disengaging classroom environments that make class boring and encourage bad behavior, etc.
gold man ANGEL...THERE ARE THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES WHOS CHILDREN HAVE. MUCH BETTER EDUCATION THAN US. MY KIDS WERE IN SCHOOL 30 YRS AGO. NO ONE HAD TEXT BOOKS TO BRING HOME NOT ENOUGH MONEY IN THE BUDGETS. EVERYTIME OUR TAXES GOT RAISED FOR EFUCATION THE SUPERINTENDANTS AND ABOVE GOT BIGGER PAYCHECKS. THE STATE LOTTERY NOW PITCHED IN BILLIONS OF DOLLARS TOWARDS SCHOOLS. STILL NO BOOKS FOR STUDENTS. WE STARTED TO MAKE NOISE ALL OUR TAXES SKY HIGH GOING UP EVERY YR AND THE LOTTERY MONIES WHY DO WE NOT HAVE TEXTBOOKS OR BAND AND LAB AND SPORTS EQUIPMENTS. THE LOTTERY PPL STOOD UP TOOK THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM TO COURT. HERE IS THE KICKER. THE SCHOOLS SAID YOU DID NOT SPECIFY WHERE THAT Money GOES. THEREFORE ITS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS HOW WE DISTRIBUTE IT. WELL WE WANT ACCOUNTABILITY NOW. NOPE YOU CANNOT ARBITRARILY CHANGE THE CONTRACT AFTER WE SIGNED IT AND YOU CANNOT GIVING US THIS MONEY. THANK YOU LORD FOR GREED AND CONTEMPT FOR CHILDREN US OVER PAID WORTHLESS FAT SLOBS WHO RUN YOUR SCHOOLS WILL GIVE OURSELVES THE MONEY AND THE TEACHERS WILL NOT GET IT EITHER
Tammy FAV Well I go to High school NOW and the system is a lot better. There is no big problem with schools except teacher salary. Other then that, I get a good education.
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.
Seeing this makes my sad about my childhood . I feel jealous about finlands education system , and I wished the Albanian E.S was at least half as good as finlands E.S
mikko Laurila ours is great in my opinion:) It is quite easy conpared to other countries i have been in (basically asia). Despite teachers taking it slower and such the kids thoroughly enjoy the subject thus they do.... The same/better than most kids around the world. We get lots of physical activity and social time. Honestly, the only probleme is sometimes there are sometimes too much homework but that just goes down to time management
@@kaukolaurila9861 we are closer to the US system. Canada has the same testing regimes, loads of homework, competition for better education systems etc... This video clip is possibly shocking and so foreign to most of us in Canada seeing it for the first time.
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.
I do want everyone to note that school is never free when they say it is free, ie. college. Also, those baby boxes and maternity leave and paternity leave are also not free. Finland is a place where there are very, very high taxes to pay for those things.
By the way, I'm for most of what Finland does, I just wanted to point out that if it is supplied by the government then it isn't free. I really like the lack of standardized tests and many other things about how schools are run in general. A lot of what the Finnish style of school does is what many homeschoolers in the US do.
WE have all heard the argument about 'nothing is free'. It is paid by taxes the people agree benefit the entire society ... not an economically privileged few.
$26,000 is the cost of pre-natal care and birthing a baby without a c-section in the United States. If I need a root canal, that costs approximately $300-$500 for prepping the tooth, $300 for anesthesia, and $1000 for a crown. 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. Pasi Sahlberg has a very informative white paper on this very topic in greater detail should anyone be interested. Kiitos!
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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!
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!
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. George Clayton, Educator and Former member Texas State Board of Education.
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
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.
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)
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 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 😂
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 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.
To all who say finns didn't achieved anything of significance: IRC, Linux and SMS. Thanks Finland! (copied from istellarus tough, /watch?v=g_100H25PzY)
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.
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.
👍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'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.
Nah those cuts does not affect on normal student actually its more helpful than before those cuts just go watch Tere Sammallahti 's video about those cuts.
We lived below our means so my wife could stay home with the 4 children. We didn't do day care or preschool, but raised our children with books and intellectual stimulation. All did well in school, and have become successful adults. But it takes time and work. If we want to follow the Finnish model, we'll have to raise taxes, invest in our schools and social safety nets, and reward the best teachers while eliminating the worst teachers. We also need to get all parents on board with the need to support education. Success begins at home. It's not enough to expect the schools to do it all..
"Everyone attends public school" and to say there is no competition is misleading for americans There is no red lining in Finland. There is school choice in finland. If the parents felt inclined to send their child somewhere else, they can. Competition is intrinsic; therefore teachers have better quality access to resources needs and pay. The kids have better teachers. Parents can trust their teachers. Across all schools.
In philippines our teachers just makes performance make a movie a roll play and essay power point painting in one week and exams are really hard for me exams and performances makes 50 or 60 percent whats makes sense dont adopt weak students to become better alot of students with a small group of teachers Action action action
I wish I could study there rather than here in Nepal...we've so much stress here even to complete the high school... I actually wish if the education system of Nepal too changes like that😔
In my country We start preschool at age 2 Start kindergarten at age 5 Finishes highschool at age 16 Finishes collage at age 18 and do whatever you want after that And in preschool they still teach😣😣😣

What would happen if the US switched how much is spent on education with how much is spent on the military?
Shawn Pugh We'd die. Our education budget would be $600b while the military budget would only be $100.
Shawn, the USA actually spends a huge amount per student on education. One of the highest in the world, and actually more than Finland. You just don't see the amounts as much because it's spent by the states and not the Federal government.
it probably won't work out because America is to diverse for this type of educational system.
@@jalo7289 Are there schools in America where more than 50 % of the kids are immigrants whose mother tongue isn't English? The video said that the Finnish system works better even for these types of schools. (Finnish is technically not spoken in other countries, so "immigrant background" is almost equal to speaking less Finnish.)
A WAR ON EDUCATION!
It's because their kids have to Finnish school 😂😂. Just kill me now
Mr Nye LOLZ!!
but.....why
I went to School in Scotland so my education was Scotched!
*Rimshot*
👌u rock
I'll show you the way out now
Im so so jalouse of them. I’m living in Switzerland and the only that I feel at school is stress, anxiety and the need to end this quickly. I really hope that we can have these kind of education soon all around the world
That seals it I'm moving to Finland
U r welcome as long as u will work too
I'm a hard worker, willing to learn and will to try anything.
Nice! Hope to see you Amy!
Hard times in school!
@@workofyourhand are you in Finland yet?
I'm from India and I was in Finland just two days back. I loved it then and after watching this video I feel even more love and respect for Finland!
I want to move there :P
I am a teacher in the U.S. Our biggest issue isn’t our school system but our money hungry individualistic culture.
My school is so money hungry that they change the name of school and force kids to buy the new uniform
I completely agree. This is a recurring theme throughout us culture. Just look at the private prison system, everything revolves around making money as fast as possible
Trump is a great example, why you have to make swift improvements, or should I say, overhaul the basic educational system.
Make America Wise Again!
yay thanks to corny capitalism.
Agree whole heartedly. I am an ESL teacher in Canada and have had experience with students from a multitude of countries from around the world. The secret to successful education systems is based on co-operation and not individualism. In my experience, systems that are based on strict curriculum, standardized testing and outcomes based only on career objectives, even when "successful", result in less happiness generally than an approach like Finland's.
Wow, the school I went to it motto was: "Discipline Discipline Discipline."
dam lol
Brian H why our education system sucks (compared to the developed world) in a nutshell.
XD mine is
“work work work”
That would mean "Kuri, kuri ja kuri" in Finnish and the parents would call the police.
EXACTLY!! Me, too and I took my A levels in Finland, this film was mostly total nonsense, Finland HAS the best school system but not for all of these reasons!! I agree with arguments 1 and 8, otherwise, what a crap!
Just ask homeschoolers about that less school is better thing. They consistently do better than their public school peers at only a fraction of the time spent.
SkiFi Sk Music it’s important to know more about the world than just how to make money.
Amen! Agreed, brother, agreed!

+Tammy FAV Uuuuhhh. Sure. That's why I guess? 😂. But seriously. Education is such a huge problem in this country, and our society had gradually and systematically gained a very negative attitude towards School and education through various means. E.g. Shitty lunches, making school competitive instead of collaborative, making students wake up early, disengaging classroom environments that make class boring and encourage bad behavior, etc.
gold man ANGEL...THERE ARE THIRD WORLD COUNTRIES WHOS CHILDREN HAVE. MUCH BETTER EDUCATION THAN US. MY KIDS WERE IN SCHOOL 30 YRS AGO. NO ONE HAD TEXT BOOKS TO BRING HOME NOT ENOUGH MONEY IN THE BUDGETS. EVERYTIME OUR TAXES GOT RAISED FOR EFUCATION THE SUPERINTENDANTS AND ABOVE GOT BIGGER PAYCHECKS. THE STATE LOTTERY NOW PITCHED IN BILLIONS OF DOLLARS TOWARDS SCHOOLS. STILL NO BOOKS FOR STUDENTS. WE STARTED TO MAKE NOISE ALL OUR TAXES SKY HIGH GOING UP EVERY YR AND THE LOTTERY MONIES WHY DO WE NOT HAVE TEXTBOOKS OR BAND AND LAB AND SPORTS EQUIPMENTS. THE LOTTERY PPL STOOD UP TOOK THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM TO COURT. HERE IS THE KICKER. THE SCHOOLS SAID YOU DID NOT SPECIFY WHERE THAT Money GOES. THEREFORE ITS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS HOW WE DISTRIBUTE IT. WELL WE WANT ACCOUNTABILITY NOW. NOPE YOU CANNOT ARBITRARILY CHANGE THE CONTRACT AFTER WE SIGNED IT AND YOU CANNOT GIVING US THIS MONEY. THANK YOU LORD FOR GREED AND CONTEMPT FOR CHILDREN US OVER PAID WORTHLESS FAT SLOBS WHO RUN YOUR SCHOOLS WILL GIVE OURSELVES THE MONEY AND THE TEACHERS WILL NOT GET IT EITHER
Tammy FAV Well I go to High school NOW and the system is a lot better. There is no big problem with schools except teacher salary. Other then that, I get a good education.

As a finn i just have to disagree with a few of those facts but only a few this timw... Usually it has been like 4-5 in similar videos
Which ones?

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.
Thank you for the extra infos, you gave a wider perspective on the topic and more food for thought ☺
Maybe the best comment on here and even though i'm a Finn even i learned something.
Thank you for your input. It is always better to have a balanced fair view on everything.
Seeing this makes my sad about my childhood . I feel jealous about finlands education system , and I wished the Albanian E.S was at least half as good as finlands E.S
Look at my luck im Still a kid a fifth grader
thank gof finland fought off the russians in wwii
I just wanted some land
Joseph Stalin Yeah wanted.... (keep dreaming stalin) XD Kappa
this needs to happen in canada
I thought your system was quite close to ours...how is yours, exactly?
mikko Laurila ours is great in my opinion:) It is quite easy conpared to other countries i have been in (basically asia). Despite teachers taking it slower and such the kids thoroughly enjoy the subject thus they do.... The same/better than most kids around the world. We get lots of physical activity and social time. Honestly, the only probleme is sometimes there are sometimes too much homework but that just goes down to time management
Hmm, I thought the only problem compared to Finland was that Canada sucks at hockey.
I just dont like tests exams in our(Canada) school system
@@kaukolaurila9861 we are closer to the US system. Canada has the same testing regimes, loads of homework, competition for better education systems etc... This video clip is possibly shocking and so foreign to most of us in Canada seeing it for the first time.
All school systems should be like that.
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.
Wow, this video is an eye opener.
Yay! Finland!!!

*does quick google search for english name for the thing*
Information and Communications Technology
i think that's the english term
I do want everyone to note that school is never free when they say it is free, ie. college. Also, those baby boxes and maternity leave and paternity leave are also not free. Finland is a place where there are very, very high taxes to pay for those things.
By the way, I'm for most of what Finland does, I just wanted to point out that if it is supplied by the government then it isn't free. I really like the lack of standardized tests and many other things about how schools are run in general. A lot of what the Finnish style of school does is what many homeschoolers in the US do.
WE have all heard the argument about 'nothing is free'. It is paid by taxes the people agree benefit the entire society ... not an economically privileged
few.
Americans pay more taxes than Finns because they are at war. So there's that.
$26,000 is the cost of pre-natal care and birthing a baby without a c-section in the United States. If I need a root canal, that costs approximately $300-$500 for prepping the tooth, $300 for anesthesia, and $1000 for a crown. 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.
That does it. I'm moving to Finland soon enough. I don't want my unborn child experience my country's horrifying curriculum.
Rafi Nandi you need to have a job or a place of study. Or, you are rich enough and able to live on your own. It’s the same in every country.
How is your baby doing?
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. Pasi Sahlberg has a very informative white paper on this very topic in greater detail should anyone be interested. Kiitos!
I am finnish and I at the moment studying to be a teachers, I'll start studying my master studies next fall. I will be a math and physics teacher :D
I desperately need to send this to my headteacher
Then u will listed in black list
Yes i will do that ASAP! (after quarantine :P)
When I hav kids, I’m taking them to Finland to study..
Their (Finish) awareness and responsible about the important of education is really great..
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.
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.
Thank you for this informative presentation on education in Finland.
Great video. Informative. Thx a lot.
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!
Very informative!
Great video Simon we thoroughly enjoyed this and it was very informative. Thank you.
I wish Philippines is also like this
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!
you could say they FINISH first
Or you could say, nice guys finish last, Green Day 😂
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.
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.
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!
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.
Unbelievably informative and eye opening.
Finland basically homeschools their children.
Awesome, awesome, awesome! Thanks for making us video
Whole world need Finland type schools❤️ from Bharat
So I'm a student in Uni going into High School education and OMG this sounds like heaven. Little overload on greatness.
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

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

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
in finland we sure respect teachers..
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
Ive seen people with bad jobs say they much prefer working a bad job than going to school again
Im from Finland🇫🇮❤️❤️
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.
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)
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 😂
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!😊
We need this in the UK
Lol you must be bengali with that name. And yeah, I agree!
I just sent it to my headteacher she said she needs a talk with me
@@daydreamerexo5644 how did it go?
I honestly love how coveted teaching is especially when compared to the mess we have here
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.

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.
Cheers mate!
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.
WONDERFUL PROGRAM SIMON PRESENTS HERE .
HE SEEMS MORE IN HIS ELEMENT WITH THIS.....
Great video. Thanks.
Bet you can't type every letter on the keyboard in oder!
This school system is all the stuff I wanna integrate in my school I wanna set up after I finished my studie
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.

What a luck living and growing up in that kinda countries. While in Mexico education is a terrible bad joke.
Thank you. 🖤
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.
Current Finnish government has done a lot of havoc in the education system. They've cut everywhere in education. I'm saying we shall see the results.
Nah those cuts does not affect on normal student actually its more helpful than before those cuts just go watch Tere Sammallahti 's video about those cuts.
We lived below our means so my wife could stay home with the 4 children. We didn't do day care or preschool, but raised our children with books and intellectual stimulation. All did well in school, and have become successful adults. But it takes time and work.
If we want to follow the Finnish model, we'll have to raise taxes, invest in our schools and social safety nets, and reward the best teachers while eliminating the worst teachers. We also need to get all parents on board with the need to support education. Success begins at home. It's not enough to expect the schools to do it all..
"Everyone attends public school" and to say there is no competition is misleading for americans
There is no red lining in Finland. There is school choice in finland. If the parents felt inclined to send their child somewhere else, they can. Competition is intrinsic; therefore teachers have better quality access to resources needs and pay. The kids have better teachers. Parents can trust their teachers. Across all schools.
In philippines our teachers just makes performance make a movie a roll play and essay power point painting in one week and exams are really hard for me exams and performances makes 50 or 60 percent whats makes sense dont adopt weak students to become better alot of students with a small group of teachers
Action action action
I wish I could study there rather than here in Nepal...we've so much stress here even to complete the high school... I actually wish if the education system of Nepal too changes like that😔
High stakes testing ruined public education and I'm not sure it will ever recover. It took all of the fun out of both teaching and learning.
the Finland has been creatd many programs to the students, Family, its economy is good, and your population have a good country to Live.
In my country
We start preschool at age 2
Start kindergarten at age 5
Finishes highschool at age 16
Finishes collage at age 18 and do whatever you want after that
And in preschool they still teach😣😣😣
