Reading
So why are schools in Finland so successful?
Less formal schooling
Students in Finland don’t have to start school until the age of seven. They learn through playing and exploring
rather than having to be in a classroom all day.
Less working, more rest
Students start school between 9.00 and 9.45 a.m. The school day usually ends by 2.00 or 2.45 p.m. Students
usually have breaks in between classes so they have more time to relax throughout the day.
Fewer teachers, more care
Students in Finland often have the same teacher for six years. The same teacher looks after and cares for a group
of fifteen to twenty students. They know the learning styles of all their students and know how they can all succeed
and reach their goals.
Less testing
Teachers don’t have to follow a curriculum. They create their own exciting lessons. For example, they have time to
teach sewing, cooking, cleaning and woodwork.
Less homework
Finnish students have the least amount of homework in the world. They have less than thirty minutes per night.
Students get the work done in class instead. Teachers believe that what students are able to do in school is
enough.
