initiative and decrease punishing in a class.
2. I can`t say I`m in complete agreement with you. Being a doctor means being responsible

https://www.educationcorner.com/finland-education-system/
Advantages:
Prior to age 7, Finnish school children can attend day care/nursery school but they do not have
formal education whilst there, Instead, they focus on creative play.
For every 45 minutes of learning, students enjoy 15 minutes of play. – it helps to concentrate
better
Finnish students are not measured at all for the first six years of their education.
The school day starts between 8-9am and is finished by 2pm.
Finnish Teachers are not graded.
They believe that every child has some special needs and therefore special education is for
everyone.
Finnish students have the same teacher for up to 6 years of their school career.
Finnish Students have less homework than any other student on the planet.
Teachers only generally spend 4 hours a day in the classroom and have 2 hours every week for
professional development, thus reducing teacher stress.
The Finnish national curriculum is a broadly based guideline, allowing teachers to use their own
style and ideas in the classroom.
Video:
1. Teaching is made available for everybody – they put all the applicants on the same line –
so they have different intelligences and academic profiles to choose from.
2. They take all students for a special 5-6 year program instead of working with the best
applicants using a special program.
