Why Findland’s Schools Are So Successfull

For many years the school system in Finland has been very successful. In the PISA survey, which compares reading, math and science knowledge of 15 year olds around the world, Finland is not only the top European country but also competes with Asian giants like Shanghai, Singapore and South Korea. But what makes the educational system in this small country so strikingly different from others in the western world.

First of all, the Finish government makes it possible for all children to attend preschool, which comes after kindergarten. Compulsory education begins at 7. Teachers work with their pupils in school as much as possible. They have little homework to do when they get home.  When teachers are not with the pupils they spend a lot of time in schools working on the curriculum and new projects.  They teach in teams if it is needed to help them reach their goals. That is why dropout rates are low compared to other countries.

In contrast to other nations teaching in Finland is a highly admired profession. Finland selects its teachers very carefully.  Only talented students can continue their education to a university and receive a master’s degree in education. Finland only takes the best to educate its youth.

Schools in Finland are small, at least for international standards. However, more than in any other country teachers are ready to prepare children for life. In some cases they know every pupil in their school and can adjust to them. Teachers try everything to succeed with their pupils. Most of the pupils get additional help in their elementary school years, either by the teachers themselves or through specially trained educators.

Mengapa Sekolah – Sekolah di Findlandia Sangat Sukses

Selama bertahun-tahun sistem sekolah di Finlandia sangatlah sukses. Dalam survei PISA, yang mencoba membandingkan kemapuan membaca, matematika dan ilmu pengetahuan dari anak usia 15 tahun di seluruh dunia, Finlandia bukan hanya negara terbaik di Eropa, tetapi juga bersaing dengan raksasa Asia seperti Shanghai, Singapura dan Korea Selatan. Tapi apa yang membuat sistem pendidikan di negara kecil ini jadi sangat berbeda dari orang lain di dunia barat.

Pertama-tama, pemerintah Finlandia memfasilitasi semua anak untuk menghadiri pendidikan prasekolah, yang datang setelah PAUD. wajib belajar dimulai pada usia 7 tahun. Guru bekerja memfasilitasi siswa mereka di sekolah sesering mungkin. Mereka memiliki sedikit pekerjaan rumah yang harus dilakukan ketika mereka pulang. Ketika guru tidak dengan murid mereka menghabiskan banyak waktu di sekolah untuk mengkaji kurikulum dan proyek-proyek baru. Mereka mengajar dalam tim jika itu diperlukan untuk membantu mereka mencapai tujuan mereka. Itulah sebabnya angka putus sekolah di sana rendah dibandingkan dengan negara-negara lain.

Berbeda dengan negara-negara lain mengajar di Finlandia adalah profesi yang sangat dikagumi. Finlandia memilih guru dengan sangat hati-hati. Hanya siswa berbakat yang dapat melanjutkan pendidikan mereka ke universitas dan menerima gelar master dalam pendidikan. Negara Finlandia hanya mengambil yang terbaik untuk mendidik generasi mudanya.

Sekolah di Finlandia kecil, setidaknya untuk standar internasional. Namun lebih baik dari guru negara lain, mereka mempersiapkan anak-anak untuk menjalani kehidupan. Dalam beberapa kasus mereka tahu setiap murid di sekolah mereka dan dapat menyesuaikan diri dengan mereka. Guru mencoba segalanya untuk sukses dengan murid mereka. Sebagian besar siswa mendapatkan bantuan tambahan di tahun sekolah dasar mereka, baik oleh guru sendiri atau melalui pendidik yang terlatih khusus.

Shanghai is Number One in World Education Rankings

A   global   educational   study   called PISA (Program for International  Assessment ) tests over 500,000 pupils in over 70 countries every three years. The 2010 results showed that pupils in Shanghai are the world’s best in reading mathematics and science. PISA studies 15 year old and their   abilities in the three fields.  The study did not rank China as a whole but Shanghai, Hong Kong and Macao as   separate   countries.

South Korea, Singapore Taiwan and Japan were other Asian nations that   ranked   well. In many western countries the reading   score   was down. In Europe, Finland still stays in the number one spot although   it is   ranking   third overall. Americans are, at best,   average, ranking 17th   in reading, 23rd   in science and 31st   in mathematics.

Why have Asian countries overtaken Europe and America in the tests?  First, they put more   focus   on education.   Children, parents and teachers know that a good education is the   key   to being successful. They are not   tolerant   when pupils   fail. Asians believe that if you do hard and   succeed   in school you will be successful in your job as well.

Starting at a very early age China teaches its children that you can only succeed if you are better than the others. They are tested as soon as they come to school. Only the best can go to college and then get a good job. Examinations are held very often and lists of students rankings   are   posted   on the walls of a school. Shanghai students study much harder than western pupils do and they spend less time on   extracurricular   activities   or sport. Teachers are also   respected , paid well and   highly motivated .
