Providing food during school encourages regular school attendance since many children often aren't well fed at home. 

(Not so) Fun fact: In rural China iron-fortified vitamin pills were provided by schools to children, many of whom have anemia, which had an immediate positive impact on learning.

Providing parents with information on the value of education will be crucial to increasing and maintaining school enrollment. 

Finland has no standardized tests. All children throughout Finland are graded on an individualized basis and grading system set by their teacher. 

Different needs and learning styles vary on an individual basis. Finnish teachers can account for this because they've figured out the student's own needs. They can accurately chart and care for their progress and help them reach their goals. 

Finnish students are getting everything they need to get done in school without the added pressures that come with excelling at a subject. Without having to worry about grades they are able to focus on the true task at hand – learning, growing as a human being and having fun!

Students should practice teamwork, leadership and critical thinking. They should also be exposed to entrepreneurship projects. This shift from standardized learning will prepare students for their future and better equip them to deal with real life.
