Hatice Çilsalar on 03 Nov 13I really like Finnish education system. And also I wanna visit that country to realize how they achieve this. I think have to start with such a dream- long term, not only with five or six year plans.

leventmetu on 03 Nov 13Girls..Just a reminder...When once Finnish President visited China his counterpart asked him what Finland's population was..He replied as "4.5 million"..Then Chinese President asked again "at which hotel are you all staying?"..Only one of Beijing's district has a population of that much..

Sinem Hizli Alkan on 03 Nov 13Of course population has significant affect on education and its quality. But we have to also remember that Finland's equal system doesn't care about school's population,distance, social differences, gender, religion or anything else. So the mentality of wholistic idea is to reach every child even though they live in a very small island within 10families or less. I observed that and this is just impressive. What we may gain from them is that population is just the quantity, lets focus on quality and equity!:)well as much as we can do!

canannn on 03 Nov 13The compulsory and voluntary intense in-service trainings for all grade teacher as in Japan and Korea, is very critical I think. These training are very well structured focusing on different topics such as educational philosophies, relationships with parents or different instructional methods.

Hatice Çilsalar on 03 Nov 13I agree with Canan. Because I know that Shanghai-China is the first country according to latest PISA results. Also, Shanghai's population is over 14,5 million. With this population they can have high achievement level in an international exam. I think the success is not related to population. This is only related to educational policies. Especially teachers quality have huge impact on countries success in such exams. Educational policies on teacher candidates' selection and education should be revised as soon as possible. As turkish idiom said: "Az olsun ve öz olsun-less number- higher quality"(I'm not sure about the translation, can English teacher friends help me that point?.). Goverment should select teacher as many as the country need.
