THE BEST CENTRAL EDUCATION IN THE
WORLD
Welcome
back to my blog ! at this opportunity I would like to share about educational
system. Formerly the best educational system in the world is America, but that
position was replaced by Finland. Based
on the PISA (Programme for International
Students Assessment) survey conducted by the OECD (Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development) in 2003 educational
system in Finland defeated 40 countries in the world. Here are the reasons why
Finland’s education system is better rather than other countries based on some
article and my opinion.
1 1) There
is no School Fee
Finland’s
government implemented a free school policy for 12 years. Even the students get
free lunch everyday. This policy very
influential for the educational
progress, because all the children there can take the same education as
others even though their family economic is unstable.
2) The
Quality of Teachers
The teachers in Finland are the best graduates
of every college and there are the top ten best graduates. As we know that the
teacher have the important role in education, because the teacher is a
knowledge facilitator. Without teacher the students will get some difficulties
during learning at school.
1 3)
Implemented
The Equivalent System
Finland’s
educational system implemented the equivalent system. There is no the superior
class, because they believe if there is the superior class the students should
be feel differentiated and will reduce their confidence. Not only reduce their
confidence but also reduce the spirit learning.
1 4)
There
Is No The Learning Targets
Teachers
in Finland are not use “the learning targets” because they always adapted their
teaching material based on needs of each student. The positive impact is they
can develop their skill at school. Therefore, the students thought learning as
a necessity not as a pressure because they do not have to achieve the learning
targets set by the government.
2 5)
Mandatory
Standard Test
The
purpose of Finland education system is to make life easier not for achieve
target value. In Finland There are no midterm exam, final exam, national exam
and etc. It just have one mandatory standard test when the students are 16
years old. They believe if exam should damaged their learning purpose.
1 6)
Cooperation
Not Competition
Finland’s
learning method is cooperation. The students will enjoyed it because they can
exchange some ideas to each other. While competition method give some negative
impact such as build the selfish character, cannot exchange some ideas, and
consider their friends as rival learning not partner learning. Therefore there
is no ranking in Finland.
Based
on my opinion the 6 points above are most important point in educational system
in Finland. Why ? because that points are as a foundation which can strengthen
an educational system. That all my opinion about the central education in the
world, especially Finland education system and learning method. That
educational system was contradictory with educational system in Indonesia. Let
see the differences in the table below.
As
the student in faculty teacher training and education I hope the educational
system and learning method in Indonesia will be better.
