Finnish Lessons: What the World Can Learn from Educational Change in Finland

It's a good video, but the comments are really bad. We should spend less time attacking others and more time thinking how to make our system better.

your presentation creates more interest on education system & its importance.  THANK YOU SIR.

It is astonishing. The amount of similalarities in teaching strategies to the United States. One thing I must add though is that the way that Americans view education is more for the sake of leverage in the job market than for the benefit of the generations to come (those that will eventually reach adulthood).

American education is designed to train obedience to arbitrary power and obedient to do as much labor as possible ,under the euphemism of student accountability

I am watching this right now from Kenya and it's a fantastic educational piece I must say .As a teacher I have learnt a lot.

''accountability is left when responsibility is taken away''

Watching it in 2024 and still feels so up-to-date.

wow what humility! respect to finland!

Linux, Nokia, IRC, molotov coctails, sauna, Angry birds, lapua ammo, etc. These are all Finnish products/inventions and there are much more.

I have no idea how I got here but I watched the whole thing with great intrest. Thanks for uploading.

32:05 basically gets down to the root of America's problem, and probably the problem in many other struggling countries. Parental choice means that wealthy parents, in a highly unequal environment, will rescue their kids out of bad systems and build private options, or drive average folks out of public options. When people are all forced to be in the same boat, like in an egalitarian society, the relatively rich have to campaign for policies that help everyone. If a wealthy Finn wants their children to go to a good school, they simply advocate for their existing system. In America, we argue about vouchers, lotteries, etc, as the rich scramble to flee off the sinking boats. As the few wealthy, influential folks with the best ability to change things leave a school, the outcomes get worse and worse, exacerbating the generational inequality that started it in the first place. The US has more in common with developing countries in this regard...the difference is that we have the wealth to fix it, but not the national will. Most people aren't mad at the inequality- they just want their own shot at being the big dog on top.

It was a  long lecture with many explanations well done!

Really inspiering and meaningfull class. Thank you for sharing this.

Thank you so much ... this was a great enlightenment.

Excellent delivery! I look forward to seeing the Finnish educational reform in Ghana.

There are other videos on Finland's education system and the comments are turned off for some reason. If people in other countries want to improve public education, beginning a public discussion and sharing ideas in a comment section would be helpful.

Thanks for the video.
