THE BEST CENTRAL EDUCATION IN THE WORLD

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.
