The Educational System of Finland

Finland is one of the top countries where education is of very high quality. The approach that is used by the Finnish government is that classes are small, and children have enough space to study, work and play. Every child and teenager knows that after school he may get a higher education or go to work. The education there is free of charge and every child has an equal opportunity to receive a high-quality education regardless of the family's income and status.

The Finnish system is divided into childhood education, preschool education, comprehensive education, upper secondary education and higher education.

Before going to school in its traditional meaning, children are entitled to receive early childhood education in kindergartens and family kindergartens. The education there is not free. The price depends on the family income. The aim is practical and revolves around learning social and manual skills.

When the child turns six, he must attend preschool education for one year before compulsory education begins, it is free of charge. Children learn skills that are useful in school, but they are not taught how to read. The studies are game-oriented and there are a lot of outdoor activities.

During the next six years, a child goes to a comprehensive school. The first four years of studies the main subjects are Maths, Reading, the Native Language, Religion, the Foreign language, Sports and Nature Studies. At school children study subjects separately, there are some periods in the school year when students study life phenomena from different aspects and there are a lot of practical studies. At school, children learn how to live in the world and what skills help them succeed. The comprehensive school consists of nine grades. Teachers give students marks and the progress is monitored all the time. The idea is to teach students to think for themselves and assume responsibility for their learning.

The upper-secondary education may include vocational education and upper secondary education itself. Students apply for upper secondary education if they are in the 9th grade of comprehensive school. After the 9th grade they choose their educational route based on the average score of their Leaving Certificate Diploma. Vocational education is more practice-oriented than in higher school and leads to getting a qualification and a job. It takes a student 2–4 years to study there. After finishing upper-secondary school students can apply to universities or universities of applied sciences.
