General Determinants Of The Finnish Educational System

Finski odgojno-obrazovni sustav danas slovi kao jedan od vodećih u svijetu. Nakon suočavanja s posljedicama Drugog svjetskog rata i s gospodarskim krizama, Finska je morala odlučiti između uspjeha i nezadovoljstva. Uvođenjem mnogih reformi, posebno u obrazovanju, Finska se uspjela popeti na vrh i polako je postajala uzor ostalim zemljama diljem svijeta. Obrazovanje u Finskoj započinje neobaveznim vrtićem te predškolskim obrazovanjem koje traje jednu godinu i obavezno je za svu šestogodišnju djecu. Osnovno obrazovanje traje devet godina i odvija se unutar jedne strukture. Učiteljska profesija u Finskoj jedna je od najatraktivnijih, stoga su njihovi fakulteti vrlo selektivni i samo mali postotak prijavljenih studenata ipak upiše ovaj studij.Finnish educational system today has the reputaion of being one of the best in the world. After the World War II and the conforntation with it's consequences and the economic crisis, Finland had to decide between the success or dissatisfaction. By intoroducing numerous refomrs, specially in education, Finland has climbed to the top and slowly became a role model for other countries worldwide. Education in Finland starts with optinal kindergarten and one year preschool education mandatory for all six-year-old children. Primary education lasts nine years and is being held within the one same structure. Teaching profession in Finland is of the most atractive professions in general so their colleges are very selective and very little number of student applicants is enrolled in this field of studies
