WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ?

 

A lot to learn from the Finnish educational system; 

 

a. Students start school in Finland at the age of seven and only nine years of schooling is mandatory ; thus, you are free to leave school at the age of sixteen years ;

 

b. Classes start by 9:00a.m. and end by 2: 00p.m.; research have proven that students waking up early and doing catching up is detrimental to educational attainment ;

 

c. Teachers in Finland have a minimum of master' s degree and they are assumed to be very good and doing well; they do not show accountability z only that the principal is expected to come in if there are cases of low performance;

 

d. Students in Finland hardly have any assignment or homework; it should never be more than thirty minutes per day , countrywide , yet their attainment is better than students from several nations including the USA
