Finland's education system has consistently ranked among the best in the world for more than a decade. The puzzle is, why Finland?
Documentary filmmaker, Bob Compton, along with Harvard researcher, Dr. Tony Wagner, decided to find out. The result of their research is captured in a new film, The Finland Phenomenon: Inside the World's Most Surprising School System.
In the 60-minute film, Dr. Wagner guides the viewer through an inside look at the world’s finest secondary education system. From within classrooms and through interviews with students, teachers, parents, administrators and government officials, Dr. Wagner reveals the surprising factors accounting for Finland's rank as the nº 1 educational system in the world.
The documentary can be watched with Spanish subtitles here.
Finnish schools were also featured in an entry on this blog in late January, Is a longer school calendar a good idea?
