Finland is an innovative country when it comes to education, and its innovation yields results.
One of the reasons why Finnish schools are able to perform so strongly is that kids in Finland come to school with a strong foundation.
Compared with teachers in other countries, such as the United States, Finnish teachers generally spend less time in the classroom than their foreign counterparts, While a middle school teacher in the US might spend 1,080 hours teaching over the course of a 180-day school year, a Finnish middle school teacher would spend around 600 hours teaching over the same period. This extra time gives Finnish teachers more time to develop new teaching strategies and to individually assess, and respond to, the learning needs of their pupils.
The lack of emphasis on standardized tests means that Finnish teachers have a great deal of flexibility in how they structure their lessons (i.e. an elementary school teacher can focus primarily on science one week, if the children seem especially engaged in the topics at hand) and the freedom to evaluate the progress of their students using more individualized metrics.\
Clearly the high-quality subsidized daycare and preschool options mean that even though Finnish kids start school late, they start informally learning and preparing for school much earlier. However, before age 7, the emphasis is on experiential learning, through play and movement. Unless children show interest and willingness, they are not expected to learn to read in kindergarten, an approach backed up with research showing a lack of long-term benefits for kids who are taught to read in kindergarten. One Finnish principal asserts that this relaxed approach to learning is a better match for the needs and abilities of his youngest students, saying, “We have no hurry. Children learn better when they are ready. Why stress them out?” The kids are happier, and because all Finnish schools share this philosophy, Finnish parents aren’t worried that their children are falling behind their peers in terms of skill acquisition.
