The main differences between the Finnish school and our

Unfortunately, schooling is the Achilles heel of our state. Every year, the ministry issues new laws that make many parents nervous.

It begs the question: is there such a mess in the field of education as ours? Are there any schools on this planet that provide useful knowledge?





The answer is yes! Knowing what's going on in school-schoolToday I want to pack my bags and take my child to the northern region to the best Finnish teachers.

Finnish school
  1. Free education
    Our free education is very different from Finnish. In Finland, the state provides children with everything from school supplies to food and transportation to school. Everything is absolutely free! 12.2% of the national budget is allocated annually for education.


  2. Individual approach to each
    A distinctive feature of Finnish schools is the ability of each student to be himself. There is no mental leveling that is promoted in our schools. Children with different mental and physical abilities learn together, but perform different tasks. If someone does not cope, teachers necessarily conduct individual classes.




  3. Special knowledge assessment system
    Imagine, throughout the whole study about the child’s academic performance do not know his parents, only the student himself! And until the end of the third class, assessments are not put at all. From the third to the seventh grade, teachers verbally note the progress of students without writing anything in journals. No one will even think to scold a child for a bad answer or report, assessments are needed in order to motivate the student to succeed.




  4. Lack of school uniform
    Comfort is an unspoken rule that guides Finnish schools. That is why students are given the freedom to choose their own clothes. Here you will not meet children who dream of getting rid of the hated school uniforms.


  5. You don’t have to sit at the desk all the time.
    During the lesson, each student can choose a convenient place for himself. It does not have to be a desk, because in a Finnish school you can sit on the couch, in a chair or directly on the floor.


  6. Small homework assignments
    In Finland, children are not forced to study at home and suffer from an endless stream of written exercises. Teachers believe that children should spend their personal time in the company of parents, not textbooks. Finnish children spend no more than 15-30 minutes a day on homework.


  7. Absence of examinations
    In Finland, schools prepare children not for a series of exams, but for life. There are no exams in Finnish schools. At their discretion, each teacher can conduct a small test, only a standard test is considered mandatory, which all students pass at the age of 16.

  8. Some schools have cancelled all subjects.
    This decision was made in order for children to have the opportunity to study a particular topic from different angles for a long period of time. Instead of six lessons each day, there are weekly sections on one topic. For example, children study the phenomenon of emigration from the point of view of history, geography, culture. Children often come up with questions and look for answers.




  9. Change of 15 minutes
    Every 45 minutes, Finnish students can rest for 15 minutes. Unfortunately, in many of our schools, children rest very little – for 5-10 minutes.


  10. Teachers
    In Finland, being a teacher is not only honorable, but also very prestigious. After all, the salary of the teacher fluctuates within 3,500 euros. At the University of Helsinki, when entering the faculty of pedagogics, there is always a huge competition - 20 people per place. This is why teachers in Finland are the best. At the same time, there is no strict curriculum in schools: each teacher decides how to conduct lessons.




  11. Nutrition
    Nutrition in Finnish schools is more diverse than in our schools. On the website of each school, a menu is published once a month, each child can choose their favorite foods and dishes. The menu takes into account a variety of diets, as well as vegetarian preferences.




Theme free education For a long time excites the minds and in the vastness of our homeland. How do you feel about these schools? Be sure to share your opinion in the comments!
