Before the 70s of the twentieth century, education Finland nothing to be proud of. The education sector perform centralized management mode, there are many regulations binding the work of teachers. HS to 10 years old at that time had to pass an exam, based on the test results to division, an ordinary class, a class that profession; the division that future decisions they dogmatically, future life depends on an exam. Exam results are scored from 4 to 10; 10 points is the highest score; Point 4 is sliding. At that time the young age pupils who knew than packaging used to rank each other, through which said that his scores or less than others. In each class the students are divided into groups according to their abilities, they are considering another embankment.

Later, school officials Finland find ways to do so is not good, because everyone has the capacity and different expressions. Doing so is like catching elephants, penguins and monkeys climbing competition; resources used to climb trees gauge their capacity is very ridiculous. So the education sector the country has decided to cancel the caste regime, do not use scores to the hierarchical division anymore. The teacher quickly realized that this approach as well.

Thus teachers and students have more time to teach and learn what they prefer. Our teachers do not teach because absolute examinations, students also learn absolutely not for exams. Our school is a fun place to study 100%. Advantages of learning mode in Finland is planted in a spirit of cooperation rather than competitive spirit. We do not worry HS latter will feel fear when entering the highly competitive society ".

4. Education Finland towards children learning through play. "Entertainment is important for children," said Rintola "We appreciate the fun". Students in Finland are often very much curricular even cold winters. Compulsory school age of school children was 7 years old. "We do not hurry" Louhivuori say "children will learn better when they are ready, why we have to pressure them?"

At first glance, that approach may seem like "no formal" teaching traditional way but in fact, the modern method requires schools and teachers must constantly creative, explore the appropriate projects with the continuous development of the students, helping students love and constantly explore and develop the knowledge and skills to better and faster gigantic compared to traditional teaching.
