Education in Finland

Congratulations! You have completed your research on Finland�s school system and created a final Glogster movie poster with your group.

You have learned about Finland�s educational opportunities, the subjects that are taught, the purpose of education, its history and about specific individuals whose influence has contributed to the current system. Most importantly, you have learned what it is like to be a student in Finland.

Some things to reflect on...

What changes did Finland make that contributed significantly to their transition from being one of the worst educational systems in the world to becoming one of the best? Do you think we could improve the educational system in the United States by adopting some of these practices that are making a difference in Finland? What changes would you suggest?
