Good to know!! The US should take up that model.

How is a school private if it's publicly funded and doesn't charge fees? Are you talking specifically about religious schools or schools for kids with special needs or something like that?

Contruct a school to the states standards, then provide education and the gvnt pays the fees

All schools in USSR was public funded, and was not allowed to charge any fee

@@williamwatitwa3534 I don't see where private school name come from. In other EU countries government make bid for what school they want, and private contractors build it. And then teachers teach what government want. That is not private, that is state school. In other words in Finland there is no private schools. Private means that owners of school can teach whatever they want, and parents decide if they want their kids to learn there.

Where are those great leaders? When will they show up?

Exactly. While heaping praise on Finland's education system - the way it is being touted as the next best thing to discovery of bread - you would expect all leaders of companies and countries would be Finnish. Hardly so. One should limit hype. I agree it is pretty good.

After seeing the CEO'S of various multinational companies I think indian education system is the best😂

​@user-gz2qh2fm1m Given that the CEOs of Microsoft, Google etc. are Indians you may well be right. But Indians don't make a song and dance about it. How many CEOs of top companies in the world are from Finland?

It won't happen, one thing Corporations are people.

Would be nice.

US is land of freedom. Land of entertainment. To be success, sometimes freedom have limit. Study is not freedom am I right? Because you need to be in school. School is like a prison. But Good Prison.

I'm currently an American living in Finland for the past 10 years. I love America but the discourse and divisiveness in politics needs to improve before I move back.

Well US government don’t care about education (or health) they only care about wars ( theirs and others 🙄🙄

That's exactly what they have done here. They cut 2 billion from education between 2012-2019 (source oaj.fi). My friends who are teachers here said like 5-6 years ago already how the results will get worse because of the cuts. Check out the PISA statistics then you will see that Finland was in top 3 around 10 years starting from 2000, but the last decade has been a decline in the rankings. Estonia has the best education results in Europe in the last few PISA tests conducted worldwide. I went to school here when the education was at its peak in Finland.

True that! In our country, roughly 2% of the total GDP is allocated to education, thus contributing to the horrendous illiteracy and corruption rate here.

ffs. Finland cuts so much in education that they currently don't have the money in education. Same with health care. both of these two go down so badly currently.

It's not about the money , it's about culture and teaching curriculum

Great and all until they produce less researchers, lese engineers, less doctors than average countries so is it really that good?

Amen!

Trust me, if Finland starts to open its country to migrants from africa, the level will drop drastically too.. its not about education system, because in Vietnam its very poor, but they scores Higher on PISA than France or the US because its a Homogenous country.

That's because we didn't have a functioning school system as children. We are soldiers and retail workers.

Me too. In our country, the education system is a failure. The leaders and our own people who select these incompetent government officials are failing us and the succeeding generations.

What you are saying is simply not true. In the USA the government would rather spend money on military than education. I live here, i know. And it is getting worse here with states not allowing teachers to teach the truth. Misinformation is pushed on adults and children alike. The best education i have received is from being self-taught, rather than public education and some college. Plus, there are other factors. ​@@donbabilio8298

Our politicians would rather steal funds in the education budget and ship their kids to overseas pvt schools

Obviously, the biggest factor is the people and the culture. The biggest factor here is trust, there is a reason why rich kids go to small public schools.

Another difference is that everything is taught in finish whereas in Asian countries it's in English, it affects critical thinking due to language barrier

It's the parents

4. The American populace views school as free daycare. I've seen this type of curriculum done here, but the catch is it's always wealthy private schools or high-achieving magnet/scholar ones like my high school. A curriculum like this would make no difference in 98% of public schools when you're having to spend 60% of class time redirecting students and calling parents who blame you instead of their kids.

It's staged. And it's pretty obvious as well. Hypocrisy for the camera

​@@aberbatypical American comment

​@@aberba😂😂😂

@@aberba Nope, it's not staged. It's totally normal. Even so normal, that I was amazed that someone point it out. Fo me as a Finn, everything on this video looked like an average school. In Finland schools are mostly public and even if they are not run by municipality, they are free for students. It means that there are no schools for rich people or different color kids. All schools are for everyone.

@aberta it’s not staged. It was the same in France and still is even though it’s becoming more of an issue with racist and extreme political party trying to divide us. But it was just like that when I was at school 20 years ago. We didn’t even questioned it as it was normal for us. We didn’t see any issues as we were all humans. When I lived a year in Chicago just after high school. I was shocked to see how divided American communities were. I went to a college that was in the middle of different communities living areas. The first semester I did the last level of ESL program. So I made friend with a girl from Poland, another one from Mexico. We decided the next semester to take our courses together so we asked the administration to make it possible for us. They were surprised to see how we were so close friends coming from different « backgrounds » and happy for us to spread « diversity ». Even though it came from good intentions I didn’t like the feeling it gave me and having to face that reality there. Outside of school, people were showing us that we were « weird » and not « welcome » in each other neighborhood. It made me so sad and I honestly didn’t understand why and how it was a thing. All those ideas about race and that we can’t live together because we have culture differences sounds so wrong to me. We’re the same in the end in many ways. And we also learn, experience each other cultures. It’s so interesting to see that not everyone see the world the same way. It’s true when it comes to cultures but even inside the same culture. I’m sad that my country is taking the wrong path and is influenced by those ideas « Our cultures, habits are different so we can’t live together, aside each other, you’re a threat to me and my culture”… All this is bullshit happens when you close your mind and begin to fear what you don’t know, what is unfamiliar, what you don’t understand (even though you don’t even try to get to know or understand).

But, in Finland, it seems most of teachers and journalists have a bias by leaning to left ideas, the students and people are also OK with it. Maybe in this modern world, the centre does shift toward the left.

Being a bit to the left politically myself, I really have no problem with a little bias leaning that way. The issue is that a historian or a journalist that is biased in their publications, is neither of those but a political activist which spreads propaganda. This is something that used to be the first thing they taught at the educations for both historians and journalists. Their job is to present the relevant facts so the observer can make up their own mind, not tell them what to think. I see that even on UKposts, there are plenty of channels that present themselves as historians and journalists, that lean both to the far right and the far left. They tend to be extremely biased with the goal to either spread a political ideology or just pure hatred, and the problem is that it seems to be working, because people are not educated enough on how to be critical against biased sources like that, but just misinformation like fake news. @@__Man__

@@gnukkignukk7536 that's why we are taught to be able to distinguish between an actual news and a product of a propagandist.

The problem which I have already stated two times already, is that apparently some people are not properly educated about this. Both educations and media in general should have a bigger focus on the issue. This video only mentions that they're focusing only on fake information, and not biased information which is a huge problem. Biased "journalism" and "history" keep showing up and people keep falling for it, especially on UKposts.@@__Man__

@@gnukkignukk7536 don't you think some Russian medias are biased? Apparently, they are checking about it. I don't know how you see it from your own perspective.

Were these students exchange students in the US?

@@TickleMeElmo55 Yes. They were Finnish students in the US. They were interviewed after they returned home

Unfortunately, it's been here for awhile.

The educational system is driven also by taxpayers and parents. Parents do not value, and reward adequatly, good professors. Taxpayers do not value, and pay for, good school administrative systems and good professors. Sometimes, you reap what you sow. Directly or indirectly.

I have an 8 year old & 4 year old. My parents are conservative & my husband is liberal. My kids get to see both view points & navigate how they see the world. The majority of families are either liberal or conservative. I think that creates kids who only think one way. I believe that is part of the problem. There is no neutrality like in Finland

They could “care less?” How much less Mr. or Ms. Teacher?

@@Dylanesque The reason I came upon this video is because I have watched many videos about Finland. I was born in the USA and have lived here my whole life. But I have come to dislike my country intensely for many reasons. Because of that, I have thought about emigrating to another country, and Finland is at the top of my list. To actually move to another country at age 61 would be difficult! Maybe I will visit Finland this summer and stay for a few weeks. Finland is a very interesting place!

@@lonzo61 You'd be very welcomed if you stopped by. I was originally born in Yorkshire, England and moved to Finland in 2007. Never regretted that decision. So much sense of freedom. I won't be going back to the madness that is now England. Not even for a holiday.

@@Dylanesque Indeed. I have been following the news and culture in UK, so I am aware of the effects of Brexit, immigration, WOKE, etc, on the culture and politics. I've listened to a multitude of personalities such as Pat Condell, John Cleese, Douglas Murray, Andrew Doyle, Lionel Shriver, and many others whose commentary on England is not complimentary. Of course, we here in the US exported WOKE to....everywhere. For the record, I'm a moderate liberal who sees, on full display, extremism here in the US in the form of WOKE on the left and MAGA on the right. And with another Trump presidency....er.....dictatorship on the horizon, I'm not optimistic. And I have not even touched on my other gripes with the US. If I decide to travel to Finland in the coming months, I may take you up on your offer. I'd be VERY interested in talking to expats from the US and other countries who have emigrated to Finland. In fact, some of the vids I've watched about Finland have been produced by emigres from other nations such as the African continent, the US, the UK, Spain, etc, etc. And some of the vids have been produced by Finns, which have been very informative. By the way, I have no delusions that Finland is some Shangri La; but from what I have learned about it, it has more appeal than other countries I have considered--even with all that dark and cold in the winter.

You cant expect a country of 5 million to have the same impact as a country of say 50 million. But to answer your question a lot of things you take for granted are in fact invented by Finns including Linux, the web browser and tons of technologies in telecommunication.

@@ellav5387 you have Israel and Switzerland as examples of smaller countries. That is what led me to ask why a bit smaller country with a superb education system is not popular in the world for things other than that educational system.

@@sevdalink6676 I don't exactly know what you mean by "popular" when you bring up the most controversial country on earth. Finland has historically been a very isolated place in Europe for its location and language. Today however Finland is the only EU country where homelessness is decreasing, has low corruption, low crime and clean water and air. It's not as rich and fancy as Switzerland or even the other Nordic countries but the poorest live better lives here than in most places in the world.
