Thread: Does Finland has the best educational system?

Finland has the best education until 15 age on world stage. It's official information. Finnish students have the best rank in solving matsh problems, understanding reading.

After 15 ages it's hard to compare i think. Becouse all educational, vocational schools or sports scholars make it complicated. University education is another universe as its name says

My point is YES education system is the best in Finland!

Finnish education system surely is good, no argument on that.

As I've only learned in Finland on university level I can only comment on that and unfortunately not all teachers/lecturers in University are on the level you'd expect them to be. And I'm not saying that as a foreigner, the same criticism is coming from Finnish students towards those teachers. There's still a lot to learn in some higher education institutions before claiming them to be the best.

I guess with education it is more about what suits YOU the best as it's rather difficult to compare universities starting with the fact that the degree programs they are teaching are different. So what is best for one student might not be the best to another one

above all finnish schools are filled with finns... not various illiterate goatherders or warlords offspring.


Just like you are served in McD by wonderful blonde women who would be supermodels in other parts of the world

Finland is supposed to have the best education system in the world, but I believe that only extends up to the end of compulsory education at sixteen.

Then there's Lukio: three years of education to cover the same material that is taught in one year in the UK as AS Level. Before you ask: I've heard that from the teachers at my school, who teach both AS Levels and the Finnish Matriculation courses. It's also what I'm experiencing myself: most of what I have been taught in one year at lukio in Finland was already covered at GCSE (pre-lukio) in England.

After that, there's university: Finland's highest ranked university (Helsinki) is only 108th in the most recent QS table; the US and the UK dominate the list, but Denmark, Norway and Sweden all have better universities than Finland.

So, is it really the best? Well perhaps to begin with, but it seems like the further you study, the worse it gets. Shame.
