Finnish Education in a nutshell
Free high-quality education for all.
This is the basic principle behind the world-renowned Finnish education system. The Finnish education policy aims to offer all its citizens equal opportunities to education.
- Education is free at all levels, from primary schools to higher education. School textbooks and lunches are free for all pupils in basic education. At upper secondary level, however, students or their parents purchase textbooks.
- The Finnish education system is also quite flexible, there are no dead-ends as students can continue their studies on a higher level of education, no matter what choices they make in between.
- The focus is on learning rather than testing, and there are no national standardized tests for pupils in basic education.
- Both schools and teachers enjoy extensive autonomy. The Finnish education system relies on the proficiency of highly-educated teachers and other staff members.
