The Finnish educational system ranks among the highest rated in the world. Why is that? Is it because their education starts before their children can walk and offers free education all the way to a doctorate? Could it be their free lunches for all students and free transportation? Or is it their truly socially conscious focus, encouraging the students to understand their differences and to care about each other’s needs. Or the way the students who learn more quickly are expected to help the ones who may struggle? Or their philosophy about not giving much, if any homework? We’ll hear about these practices as well as many others from Kristiina Volmari, Counsellor of Education and Head of Information and Analysis at the Finnish National Agency for Education. Ann Brennan, an experienced American educator will join host Helen Hillix in this fascinating journey into the world of exploring what works best to educate our children and young people and why?
