I believe in our system, I believe in the Finnish teachers and I believe in the future of our schools.<br /><br />But your concern in the "lost generation" is valid. We should definately put more impact on getting the youth to higher education. There are too many people that we loose after the comprehensive school. And we're not #1 in the university evaluation. There's a great risk in being arrogant.Esa Kukkasniemihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18141376332364107121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006009908029254641.post-38859226039884746062011-10-20T00:10:51.110-07:002011-10-20T00:10:51.110-07:00Good points here!

News this week in Finnish:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.iltalehti.fi/uutiset/2011101914602417_uu.shtml" rel="nofollow">Iltalehti</a><br /><br />I am afraid we are going to a worse direction here and I am not proud of it. <br /><br />I have lived in Sweden a long time, and their system make that more and more young people are going to be lost, for example many of them cannot read when they leave the school. We have been going to the same direction a long time. It must be changed.Laalinlallauksiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03189502991617349322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2006009908029254641.post-87528876293734491982011-06-16T03:00:43.116-07:002011-06-16T03:00:43.116-07:00It was interesting that there was Shangai.

Shouldn't we focus on reforming the schools worldwide, more than arguing about rankings, evalutions etc?Mikko Jordmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05397468310603476794noreply@blogger.com
