Education as a foundation for innovative, resilient and sustainable societies

Finland has a proven track-record as the home of world-class education. The Finnish school system has been built on the egalitarian principle of good quality universal education, which is inclusive and comprehensive. In fact, the learning gap of the weakest and the strongest pupils in Finnish schools is one of the narrowest in the world.

The praised education system has set the corner stones for the development of the Finnish society and welfare. Our education system has allowed us to develop from a poor, war-torn society of the 1940s to the happiest country in the world. Finnish education sector professionals from teachers to tech-designers and architects are now set to support other countries to make most of the Finnish expertise and lessons learned.
