6 The sad joke these days is: If you want to live the American Dream, move to Finland. (2011)

7 Similar policies, beqer implementaaon? or Different policies, different implementaaon?

8 Global EducaAonal Reform Movement The Finnish Way COMPETITION TEST- BASED ACCOUNTABILITY STANDARDIZATION COLLABORATION TRUST- BASED RESPONSIBILITY CUSTOMIZATION CHOICE HUMAN CAPITAL EQUITY SOCIAL CAPITAL

12 Three Key Educa1on Policies

13 Key Policy #1: Equality first High Learning outcomes. Low Income inequality High Wilkinson & Picke-, 2009 OECD, 2010

14 Students performance in reading, mathemaacs and science (e.g. PISA) Key Policy #1: Equity first High Performers Excellence Equity Strength of the relaaonship between performance and socio- economic background

15 Key Policy #1: Equity first VariaAon of students reading literacy in PISA 2009 VariaAon between school VariaAon within school OECD FINLAND THE NETHERLANDS

16 Key Policy #1: Equity first VariaAon of students reading literacy in PISA 2009 VariaAon between school OECD FINLAND THE NETHERLANDS

17 Key Policy #2: Less is more Ages 7 to 8 Ages 9 to 11 Ages 12 to 14 Less classroom Ame Poland Estonia Finland Slovenia Russian Sweden1 Korea Czech Republic2 Hungary Norway Slovak Republic Greece Japan Germany Iceland Denmark OECD average Austria Chile Turkey Belgium (Fl.) England Portugal Luxembourg Spain Ireland France Mexico Netherlands Belgium (Fr.)3 Israel Australia Italy OECD, Total number of intended instruction hours

18 Key Policy #2: Less is more Less teaching Ame United States Mexico Average annual teaching hours of a typical middle school teacher New Zealand Scotland Australia Russian Germany Portugal Netherlands Ireland England Spain Belgium (Fl.) Slovenia Iceland Belgium (Fr.) Norway Denmark France Czech Republic Luxembourg Estonia Korea Hungary 60 min/day Austria Japan Italy Israel Finland Poland Greece OECD, 2012

19 Key Policy #2: Less is more Curriculum planning Student assessment School improvement School welfare issues More Ame for collaboraaon

20 Key Policy #3: Teacher and Leader Professionalism Applicants Accepted Applicants and accepted to primary teacher educaaon in the University of Helsinki in 2012

21 What high- performing systems don t have? Government- pushed charter schools and priva1sa1on Performance- based pay and fast- track prepara1on of teachers State prescribed standards and aligned standardised tes1ng Puni1ve accountability to sanc1on failing schools and teachers Confronta1on and work against teachers Sahlberg, 2011; Hargreaves & Shirley, 2012

22 OECD (2012): School choice advocates open argue that the introducaon of market mechanisms allows equal access to high quality schooling for all.

23 OECD (2012): However, evidence does not support these percepaons, as choice and associated market mechanisms can enhance segregaaon.

24 OECD (2012): The highest- performing educaaon systems across the OECD countries are those that combine quality with equity.

25 Finnish Lesson for the Dutch #1: More collabora<on, less compe<<on.

26 Finnish Lesson for the Dutch #2: More trust- based responsibility, less test- based accountability.

27 Finnish Lesson for the Dutch #3: More ownership of teaching, less external control.

28 Finnish Lesson for the Dutch #4: More focus on equity, less on marke<za<on.

29 Finnish Lesson for the Dutch #5: More evidence- based policies, less experimenta<on with people
