What do you think about education in Finland?
The education system in Finland is considered one of the best in the world for example:
Less Classroom Time: Finnish children spend significantly less time in the classroom compared to other countries.
Teacher Autonomy and Qualification: Teachers have the autonomy to decide how the curriculum is taught [
Trust in Teachers and Schools: There is a strong societal trust in teachers and the education system.
Equitable Funding and Free Services: All schools are funded equitably, and everything is free for students, including school lunches and books.
Student-Run Initiatives and Facilities: Schools provide opportunities for students to engage in practical activities and have excellent facilities.
National Tests without School Comparison: National tests are used for self-evaluation, not to compare schools.
In many Finland schools, students have more freedom to decide about their learning. If you could make one change in education in Ecuador based on what you learned about Finland, what would you change first?
If I could make one change in education in Ecuador based on what I learned about Finland, I would focus on increasing teacher autonomy and qualifications. By empowering teachers to make decisions about their curriculum and ensuring they have advanced degrees, it could foster a more engaging and effective learning environment for students.
