Developing Finnish Education
System for the Future

3
00:00:17.130 --> 00:00:25.030
Since the 1990s, the demographic, economic,
and ideological changes have challenged

4
00:00:25.030 --> 00:00:33.190
the Finnish society in ways for which we have
not had pre-planned or borrowed solutions,

5
00:00:33.190 --> 00:00:38.810
similarly, to the societal
development earlier.

6
00:00:38.810 --> 00:00:44.640
We can even talk about a
paradigm shift following Slide 21.

7
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:49.480
For Finland, the operational
environment in the 1990s changed

8
00:00:49.480 --> 00:00:53.580
from the Newtonian into the Quantum one.

9
00:00:53.580 --> 00:00:58.040
However, our structures,
processes and operational

10
00:00:58.040 --> 00:01:02.320
cultures, as well our mindset, did not.

11
00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:05.090
This move is still on the way.

12
00:01:05.290 --> 00:01:10.230
One can claim that we do
not really know the answers.

13
00:01:10.230 --> 00:01:17.330
Because of which, we are experimenting,
as depicted in Slide 22, on leading

14
00:01:17.330 --> 00:01:21.760
development with the
research-based Inquiry Method.

15
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:24.900
This applies to the whole society.

16
00:01:24.900 --> 00:01:31.110
We consider Finland as a
nation-level experiment laboratory.

17
00:01:31.110 --> 00:01:35.630
We also believe that this is
the most interesting thing about

18
00:01:35.630 --> 00:01:40.190
the Finnish education
system to find more about.

19
00:01:40.190 --> 00:01:48.210
Returning to the present education system in
Slide 20, we can find several changes that have

20
00:01:48.210 --> 00:01:55.750
been dramatically altering how we
structure, lead, and provide education.

21
00:01:55.750 --> 00:02:00.610
The traditional structures have been
crumbling down for the novel ones.

22
00:02:00.610 --> 00:02:03.250
And this work is continuing.

23
00:02:03.450 --> 00:02:10.630
Continuing with Slide 20, the present
government extended compulsory education

24
00:02:10.630 --> 00:02:17.460
to general and vocational upper
secondary education in autumn 2021.

25
00:02:17.460 --> 00:02:24.640
Initial results show that the number of
dropouts has significantly diminished.

26
00:02:24.640 --> 00:02:29.740
There are experiments to extend
the compulsory education also

27
00:02:29.740 --> 00:02:33.330
to the early years in
the education system.

28
00:02:33.330 --> 00:02:39.728
This experiment on a 2-year pre-school
that would form a new classless

29
00:02:39.728 --> 00:02:45.930
4-year education tier, with the
first two years of the comprehensive

30
00:02:45.930 --> 00:02:52.000
education system for 
5-to-8-year-old children.

31
00:02:52.480 --> 00:03:00.410
The experiments include also novel
solutions for providing student care.

32
00:03:00.410 --> 00:03:04.190
The labour division of
central and local authorities

33
00:03:04.190 --> 00:03:07.990
were totally rearranged in the 1990s.

34
00:03:08.190 --> 00:03:13.860
And now, a new regional 
authority tier has been established

35
00:03:13.860 --> 00:03:18.770
to provide the health and social services.

36
00:03:18.770 --> 00:03:26.650
The present government plan determined early
childhood, pre-school, and comprehensive education

37
00:03:26.650 --> 00:03:32.780
to constitute the bulk of the 
government subsidies to local authorities.

38
00:03:32.780 --> 00:03:37.650
And to provide, 
beside education for children and youth,

39
00:03:37.650 --> 00:03:41.470
also welfare to their whole families.

40
00:03:41.470 --> 00:03:47.790
We will talk about this more in the videos
about Finnish educational governance.

41
00:03:47.790 --> 00:03:53.210
All the experiments and changes are altering
to qualifying induction and continuing

42
00:03:53.210 --> 00:03:58.770
education of Finnish Educational
professionals, such as teachers.

43
00:03:58.770 --> 00:04:06.880
The master's degree, high-quality content
mastery, capability for research-based work

44
00:04:06.880 --> 00:04:14.580
and development as well as working in, and
leading, multi-professional teams in network

45
00:04:14.580 --> 00:04:19.850
and process organisation
appear strong future trends.
