The Finnish philosophy:
.....everyone has something to contribute and those who struggle in certain subjects should not be left behind.
.....a tactic used in every lesson is the provision of an additional teacher who helps those who struggle in a particular subject.
.....pupils are all kept in the same classroom, regardless of their ability in that particular subject.
.....Finnish children spend the fewest number of hours in the classroom in the developed world.
.....teaching is a prestigious career in Finland. Teachers are highly valued and teaching standards are high.
