In this picture the credentials of teachers are depicted. In order to become a teacher in Finland, it's required to have a Master's degree, and even if that's attained, only the top 10% of graduates are accepted into teaching programs. This exclusivity of being educators makes the job extremely desirable in Finnish society, just as much as doctor or lawyers. Because of this, students in Finland receive only the best teachers that are found in the country.

In this picture the contrast between the PISA scores of Finland verses that of the United States are shown. PISA is a standardized test created in 2001 created with the intentions of comparing different educational system. In 2009, Finland ranked second in science, third for reading, and sixth for math. The United States ranked fifteenth, twenty-third, and thirty-first for those subjects, respectably. This huge difference shows how much more sophisticated the Finland education system is than the United States.

In this picture students are eating taking their hot lunch for the day. Lunch in Finland was made free of cost in 1948, and have remained that way since. Due to the lunch being free, parents don't have to worry preparing lunch for them every day and save another expense. Other countries have replicated the Finnish lunch system in the past five years due to its success. This picture is from 2014.

Finland very much values its playing time, and gives it to the kids through not only school time, but also through shorter school days and no homework given. This picture is from 2011.

Finland: First in Education, Last to Learn to Read

This picture explains the reasons behind why Finland is one of the last countries in the world to start school, but still ranks around the top in education. In addition, kids are not introduced to read until age 7, have no homework, have a shorter school day, and have less testing which leads to more learning. This approach to education is definitely unique, but it works for Finland based on their PISA results.

This picture goes through different statistics that show the contrast between Finland's education and NYC's education. It depicts that Finland has around 500,000 less students than NYC, and have much smaller classes as well. This allows for more attention given to students, and even though one in three Finnish students receive some sort of special help, there are no separate classes for different leveled students.
