This article highlights the Finnish model in the education system, which consistently ranks at the top in global assessments. It focuses on key elements such as the stability of curricula that change very little and are approved through long-term national agreements, the respect and protection of teachers' status through strict selection standards, and granting them creative freedom in teaching. Additionally, it emphasizes strengthening national identity and societal values by focusing on language, heritage, and democratic principles. The system also features flexible scheduling, short breaks and physical activities, and full free support through meals, educational tools, and inclusive integration of children with special needs. Moreover, it prioritizes early support for students, reducing pressure by eliminating early exams, and fostering life skills. The use of smartphones is banned inside and outside the classroom.
