This post is a follow-up on the\u00a0preceding piece recommending a BBC report about Finland's education system<\/a>. I highlight specific examples of this country's unique system - for the benefit of many in my part of the world, who clearly do NOT know anything of the sort exists e.g kids who do not start school before 7 years, who take NO EXAMS (Yep. You read THAT right!) etc.<\/p>\n

Finnish kids do not start formal schooling until 7 years & they get:<\/h3>\n

1. Short school days<\/p>\n

2. Long holidays<\/p>\n

3. Relatively little homework<\/p>\n

4. No exams<\/p>\n

Finland\u2019s education system has has \"long fascinated experts\" around the world...because it \u201dproduces high academic results in children who do not start formal schooling until the age of seven (7)\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

PROOF IT WORKS:<\/p>\n

Finland\u2019s 15 year olds have, for 2 decades, regularly scored amongst the highest in the global Pisa league tables for reading, maths and science.<\/h3>\n

My Question: How do Nigerian kids (who commence formal schooling from as early as 6 months, often staying morning till evening and taking assignments home) perform on those SAME international league tables?<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The truth is Nigerians do NOT even appear there...if they did we would have heard their (expensive!) schools screaming it from the roof tops!!!<\/p>\n

So it means the Finnish kids get to have so much free time and fun, only to outperform our over worked kids!<\/h3>\n

Nigerian educators and parents stop wasting kids\u2019 time in a system that does NOT work, and borrow adaptable ideas from one that DOES work - like Finland\u2019s.<\/p>\n

This is especially important NOW, that Finland is \u201cshaking up the way it is doing things - a move that it says is vital in a digital age where children are no longer reliant on books and the classroom to gain knowledge.<\/em>\"<\/p>\n
