If you've been following the story of education at all this past year, you will know that Finland is touted as a great success story in its approach to education. Highlights from this video about their approach to education include what they privilege as a culture:
1. Social justice, fairness and honesty
2. Safety nets and care
3. Shared responsibility
4. Education as a public good
5. Confidence in public institutions
6 Literacy is part of Finnish cultural DNA
7 Small is beautiful/Talk less/Less is more
If you watch to the end you will find out that in Finland, education is considered a fundamental human right which is enshrined in their constitution. It is illegal to charge a fee for education.
