I live in Finland and it is very true that we can't wait till school starts every morning. We really enjoy to be in the classroom and they provide free education, food and even special teachers for those who are disable. It has perfect atmosphere.
wow, your country is cool dude
Roman Star I have never met a person my age here in Finland who can't wait for school to start every morning
I like to learn your education system. Do you have any online degree or courses.
@@mustafa1b You should check Finnish Open University courses. They might have courses in English.
Jarmila Rajas do you know some?, for advice
For starters. there are no private Schools. here, no matter rich or poor. you can get the same education.
Per Saukko is homeschooling allowed in Finland ?
@@jennifersihandri4238 yes but why someone wants it.
@@saga6406 For a reason.
That's how it should be. Good for you.
Wow that’s great! I’m falling in love with Finland 🇫🇮 🇫🇮
Being educated in Finland really was a huge privilege. I spent long periods of school years in hospital due to health problems, and my school definitely made sure I would not fall behind. All the material was either faxed or e-mailed to the hospital where a teacher would help me. In a country where social exclusion is a real problem, this sort of policy really made a huge difference. Even when special education - not a term I prefer - was needed, it was not made out to be a huge, alien thing.
Riina V youre lucky!✌✌
What do you mean by "social exclusion?" You mean in Finland?
Social exclusion?
You are really lucky- in India students tortured by teachers,parents,peers,society to study for hours and clear toughest exams with high competition with less time to attempt exam to get into engineering or medical college..it's torture and often students go into depression and commit suicide..within some days iam going give the exam that I dont want to do..😭😭😭😭
The social exclusion is not a big problem in Finland.
I wish I had this education during my elementary/primary school. I felt like a failure during my childhood for not being able to read, write, and do math at the level my peers were. I blame the education system and my parents for not identifying that I need assistance for the fundamental skills. Each side blamed the other for their responsibility when in reality it just affected me on whether I was even smart enough to go to school. As an adult I don’t want to see my younger family members have this struggle. The US doesn’t have this system so the best best thing is charter schools and home school.
I also blame education system, none of the countries are perfect even Finland's education here also has problems, but still works the same as in the video.
Here in USA schools area about accountability! They need to get the "numbers " to get founds! In others words, students need to pass the standardized test. Not enough students passing in a school, school closedown.
Im from the US inner city public school system and I say
WE NEED THIS NOW MORE THAN EVER!!!
What a concept! Getting help to kids who need it, when they need it! Outrageous idea!
While doing my research in preparation to begin home educating my son I studied the educational system of Finland in depth and loved what I found out. Education of the whole child. My kudos to the people of Finnland for a wonderful system of education where the child comes first!
In summary: Early detection of needs and appropriate intervention.
It makes me feel extremely sad and pitiful when I reflect on the education India has provided me, especially upto high school days. And to think that the same fate is being passed on to my younger brothers and sisters, gosh! Everything is done and aimed at just scoring marks in the huge number of standardised tests for which students need to appear. There is zero learning here.
You can change that
Wait a minute . . . Some of the most successful scientists, engineers, journalists, entrepreneurs, business people, even in Europe and America, especially Silicon Valley, are products of the Indian education system.
@@casper-z9rkls6gl they are. But what use, if you don't have a life ?
All you are doing, is getting skills, and increasing your, and someone else's money.
How many of them are happy?
If you ask those professionals,,most of them would say, "I didn't HAVE a childhood."
@@casper-z9rkls6gl the same way many of the world's biggest contributors suffered through the British, American and Franc/German systems, great minds will always break through but with a much more streamlined and modern approach to education India, Britain, America and the rest of Europe could potentially raise the curve immensely.
@@casper-z9rkls6gl That's mathematics, as in 1.3tn people there will be a huge number of geniuses. The Finnish educational system is really for the improvement of society and life quality, as in educating everybody, so that everybody can contribute the best they can to the common economy.
We need this in USA
The thing is, we do not apreciate what we have until we realise how good it is. I remeber not liking school when I was younger, but now that I have matured some I can see how lucky we are in Finland. Back then school meant you didn't have time to do ther things you enjoyed more, but really, compared to other countries, Finnish schools are kind of lax when it comes to how much work we acctualy do, but we still come out of it knowing more than most kids our age in other countries do.
We need this system in INDIA too.
Harsh Vardhan...
Rightly said..
We Pakistani/Indian or sub-continent's students are getting education in very disastrous situation. I really appreciate the education system in Finland, New Zealand and Canada. and i hope that system will prevail too in our society.
Very appreciating.. This system should also be practiced in USA for better results.
In Canada special education is basically "easier work" rather than trying to teach them the skills required to be able to learn normally.
Americans look at Canada is a paradise but we look at the Nordics in the same vein.
Harjit Sajjan .
90% seems a reasonable target for a population with an average IQ.
Don't try to put a square peg in a round hole and expect a good fit.
I didn't know that - how sad. I'm from the US (and a former special education teacher) and I do think of Canada as a paradise.
Where did you go to school? In Calgary Alberta early intervention is used to keep students working at the same pace as their classmates, using different methods. I was in special education for 4 years and I can say that 90 percent of my classmates in those classes are working at the same level as our peers now.
I particularly am intrigued by how composed, calm, articulate and on point all of the interviewees are. This could result from the fact that only select people get to become teachers in Finland. However, I suspect such a quality perhaps came down from Finland's culture of burden sharing if you will. In other words, it is considerable sense of humanity. Despite the fact that Finland occupies our free market reality, Finland has realized that humanism is above the market. In a Buddhism term, they all seem to be in the moment. I believe it is a kind of quality which other teachers could start incorporating.
As a school psychologist in the USA, I have sat in on what Finland calls "student welfare" meetings. In different states, districts or schools here they are called by fairly similar names and are conducted with similar participants (teachers, parents, psych, counselors, principal, special education consultants, etc.) and talk about similar issues (attention problems, behavior, learning disabilities, etc.) The difference I think that has Finlands education of special needs students in the top of the world ranking in comparison to the USA would be that all the suggested outcomes are actually funded! I could suggest remediation or pull-in classroom help, or special technology or any a number of things for a student, but nobody EVER had the money to fund anything. Talented special educators were worked to the brink trying to serve the amount of students that needed help, and special education funds were minimal, and guarded like gold, for only the most severe cases. It made the whole process a laughing stock, because a general classroom teacher would bring a students case to such a meeting knowing that there would be no funding for a reasonable accommodation or outcome for that student. Thats what I perceive the difference being.
I really love the best educational system for the children because the best gift to children nothing expect education
This because of best way teachs
I look at that class size and think back to when I was in elementary school in the 1970s.......we had like 25 to 30 kids.....they had what? 10? 12? makes a huge difference.
These people have beautiful features.
Finland is the answer - a country rich in intellectual and educational reform has initiated over the years a number of novel and simple changes that have completely revolutionized their educational system.
And it's failing.
Brilliant the children in Finland are so fortunate.❤
Just thought that i mention this: Today there was a news that on next Pisa -study Finland won't be in Top10 in math. Not sure if our schools have somehow failed or if it is just because others have improved.
But i think this is quite natural process and proves that you must and can develop your schools.
Mustakin tuntuu, et suomen opetusjärjestelmä ois tipahtanu.
We need this here in the UK
the most important thing to educate a child is to make it fun.we all love to be happy and sometimes it's more like punishment to learn.
We need this in Philippines
it took many centuries for Finland to arrive where it is
.
i have respect for them. the people forged in ice, no task for weaklings
.
I can't believe that they are really caring for children
High Five Finland! You are doing it really, really well.
In my exploration and conversation with experts in schools in US, similar processes is suggested as the best policies to address the challenges of special Education students, with early detection, customized and collaborative approach that will produce the best result.
In Africa we don't need Aids, Democracy, Human Right, Freedom, We need this.
I hope Finland starts building schools in developing countries around the world.
They are building. They even started in India.
The main thing in whole society, particuly in Education and Workplaces is - trust. Must trust people.
In the US (at least at my schools) we are in debt. The teachers are using their own money to pay for supplies needed for students to succeed. Sped (special education) kids get easier work rather than helping with speech or whatever. We have to ask to relive bodily functions and still 99% of kids who ask are said ‘no’. Our lunches don’t have enough nutrients for students to thrive. We get 3 chicken nuggets and a 8 oz carton of milk with some week old fruit. Sorry for the rant. Have a lovely day
I wish you all the best x
The system is great.
Y'all I'm moving to Finland.
This is done in the US in many schools. We just call it other names but special education and student study teams already exist. It seems the ratio at these Finland schools is more manageable and they do this across the board for all students. Where as majority of the students in the US get these services through an IEP if they are considered a student with special needs.
PORTUGAL,,, learn with Finland.
In my country children have these same problems at school. It seems so hard. This video is a little hope.
Are there any success stories of Finnish persons, institutions, research, business, sports, cultural etc. any Nobel prize winners? Success in olympics? that would help understand the nature of the success of the education system.
watching this video, I was moved and feel that sometimes one is not grateful for what one has for the education one is receving, while other people are really in a disastrous situation.
So if I get this right, this "special education" is not really a special education. It's just some extra help. We have that in my country as well, we don't call it a special education though. We have extra help for above average and below average students. And it's either before or after class. Those classified as special need kids get even more extra help in form of individual hours.
Hi Pewpewpew! We are based in the US and not all schools here offer this kind of extra help to students, though many already do. But you're right, what's explored in the video is not "special education" in the traditional sense of educating differently abled kids. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!
Problem is that some students refuse to be quiet and administrators don't always help the teacher fix the problem.
I wish every country would have that!
Economy, policies taken on education and the population has its roles on these. Every child has given equal quality of education. There is no public and state school difference. Schools are high quality and focused on development of the students, not compete them......
I hope we have the same here in Philippines like you have.
When did Americans get together and advocate for a progressive educational system that evaluates each student for their individual strengths and weakness and maximizes our potential by focusing on our individual learning style? We could Make America SMART Again. In my pubic grade school the teachers typically taught a lesson utilizing all three learning styles: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic so that a majority of students could master the lessons. We had "morning milk" for a little protein and recess to get up and burn off a little energy (and wake up), the option oof a hot lunch in the cafeteria, and noon recess. Often the teacher would read to the class after lunch. we had an afternoon recess as well. Not everyone is good at reading or math but I recall each person in my class had some "super power" where they excelled, art music, athletics, theater... GJBrownDO 11/25/2023 12:55 Eastern
This may be an over simplification, but as a someone who has been through the UK system what strikes me about the Finnish system is the be level of agreement between the majority of participants about basics: for example, all children have the same education; early detection of problems, not waiting for difficulties to fully manifest themselves, and having high quality free training for its teachers. I am writing this at a time that when the education community here has seen a school principal commit suicide because of the so-called one word judgment, 'Inadequate' to describe the WHOLE SCHOOL'S LEVEL by the national inspectorate 'ofsted'. She knew the consequences even down to being blamed for house prices going down in the school's neighbourhood! (Ruth Perry, a Head teacher in Reading, England it is worth reading). Also, it has come to light that other teachers have also committed suicide after being branded failures. If they can not measure it and you cannot prove it, you are in trouble! Treasure your educational system Finland, if you lose it you will regret it.
Hi I,m wachhing nepal me shiva rai
love u finland contry and education.😍
I will plan to study in Finland, I come from VietNam.
UK needs this
The concept you are using is also used by The City School Islamabad H 8 but little different. The observe all student performance. If some one feel problem he is under observation. The class teacher, vice principle, The principle and parents discuss how to help him at school and home . The also show stretegy to two experts periodically visit the branch. But the don't have phycologist in school all time
This wonderful sort of education system cn b practised Effectively in a country if we have a smaller population
I agree with early intervention. It helps children to cope with thier challenges early before they become a disability. Wish our school system in America would take this approach.
They have the same system in Hungary. From as early as nursery school.
Awesome words of wisdom thank you for sharing!
Being an Indian who has seen so wrecked education system; highly unqualified teachers and very discouraging environment with a lot of academic focus rather than wholesome development... Finland is great...i still remember very well that when I was in 10 and 12 in a school which demanded very high fee our teachers were not even able to make exam papers well...they would just copy some papers from internet and the worse part was admin weren't able to see any of these and even when they get to know anything they wouldn't care...being a teacher in my country is always a 6th or 7th career option in anyone's list...when they are not able to achieve anything they decide to become a teacher.
This system is applied in Saudi Arabia , and I m sad to say only as a package not as effective and authentic as it is meant to be. students who need special attention are pointed out then dealt with rapidly . and Success. Go to your class and don't bother us again .
1:42 I also was in math like this, we (twins) had trouble understanding math (below this is again the same) and imagine the extra help actually worked, tho idk if i remember these anymore. (Math in High school & college)
2:21 I also needed this. I have trouble understanding texts and what people say, depends, but yes only understanding is the problem. When i get to understand a task, i will do it, but when i don't understand i can't focus on it.
I was in special class since middle school to high school only with 10-11 students and it was very useful, normal class often has like about 20 students?
And i had easier math than half of the rest of the class. Idk about the others, but me and my twin had like about grade 5-6? mathematics book.
In college my math is still grade middle school, lmao. 😂 But in college when needs extra help can go to a studio to do these all done with teacher who help special needs.
We need this in Kenya
Finland here i come
i am an Indian and it will be my dream to go and study in finland
SAME!! but I'm South African
Henceforth I'm really far and I don't feel my parents would appreciate living to far away 😔 but that's ok! One day! 🌞
Do you have any online courses or bachelor degree program
Our teachers isnt only teachers, they are our friends too :p
I'm an educational psychologist. My area is the psychology of special education, including assessment and identification of difficulties, and planning to support the student who has them. I trained in the UK but live and act as a consultant in Finland. The way the Finnish education systenm 'works' is not impressive and has a long way to go to become what Finland wants the world to think it is. My own daughter's case was not handled like this, and hers was not the only one mishandled so badly.
I'm sure there are bad cases, but from my own experience its been a good help. still its better than in some countries where there is no such thing available
I don't know , I disagree.
I disagree
Wow - who would’ve thought that if you adequately fund education (and especially targeted intervention) you get excellent results??? 🤨
HAHA this is o awesome! i found this video completely by accident and i see all my teachers in here and my school :D
great to hear ppl like our system ;o im telling u if u want to inspire us with this system u need to start from ur school and get the word out
i love suomi end i love finnish language...but i'm from italy and the only different way to teach here is..the language....'cause in italy there are special teachers too and free food and the same stuff..!!
Pls advise on scholarship for international school students. For grade 5
I'm in 8th grade but you can Google search for different scholarship opportunities 🌞❤️
@@theeririi3749 thank you
The UK educated system I really curse for being so bad. I've lived in Finland for 2 years and wish I stayed on there.. I really the educational system in Finland.
We need this in Brazil
This is too great
Tell me more. Why do you like to be in classes? In Portugal, even when the teachers are good, many people dislike be in the classroom. I always thought that finnish education system has some mistery...
Fabulous!
I should move to Finland
Me too but they don t let us to move there
we need this in Antigua.
We need this education system in india sooner
We need this system in Nepal tooo
Not necessarily. Some nations will never see or need democracy. Education, however, is a necessity that can be enforced without intervention.
I hope that India will implement it.
Dream school
Great 👍👍👍👍
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 comments.
Very nice video
We need Indonesian adopted study like finland
nice
You seem to think Compulsory education is a monster you just have to cope with. why? and what benefits your alternative solution would have over the regular one? not trying to troll, i just find your view slightly confusing.

I think the system is very different here in finland. Here, you go school 9 years without possibility to choose what to study. Well there are few things u can choose, but its very minimal. We also have to learn 3 DIFFERENT LANGUAGES, wich is pain in the a** (especially swedish). And there is no chance u can buy yourself a place in university or anything, it's free, but u have to be well educated to get in one.
Shailens22 isn't that what university is about? It would be meaningless if you could just buy your way in to get the good grades when you're not intelligent enough. It's a privilige that it's free, because intellegent people with no money can get education.
Shailens22 also learning different languages is useful and helps in alot of ways. You saying this just sounds like you're too lazy to learn anything.
Teach to 60 students in a class instead of 5 to 6 students....
Populated country problems 😢
J'adore 💕 💕
They don't question the teachers! That's the first mistake one can make!
the us could never
good
@DemoneaMedia PISA tests prove otherwise. Finland is NUMBER ONE.
Not sure what area you are in, but this is not true in mine.
But in the USA every student gets A or B even if they don't know anything. They're promoted. If parents complain, the principal can say, "Look, your kid gets only As and Bs. What could be wrong?"
Sad. And wrong.
In India...
Teachers:
Keep Quiet.....
Sit down....
Take out your book....
Blah... Blah... Blah...
Hey You... Don't talk otherwise I will punish you....
...
....
And totally NO learning... only memorising
