  1. Dr. Mihaela-Viorica Rusitoru

    “The book’s greatest new contribution to knowledge is found in the testimonials of class teachers, special education teachers, principals, assistant principals and trainers and the detailed descriptions of pedagogies in action in the classroom. Finns are not educated for PISA results, but for life, and for this reason, Learning Scoop wants to share, through this book, the wisdom on What, Why and How to better educate learners for a better society in the future! I thus recommend this book to all readers from the four corners of the globe: students, parents, teachers, principals, experts in education, policy-makers and other stakeholders eager to get in a few hours, the main milestones of one of the most successful and joyful education systems in the world!”

    “Thank you for sharing your knowledge about Finland’s Education system, and also not only on WHY changes are needed, or WHAT should change but also HOW to do so. May this book become a guide for more teachers and educators who are as well in this journey of making a difference. And hopefully some day all students around the world may have access to high-quality education and training, despite their social and financial background.”

    Education – a word that has different meanings for every teacher/educator/school principal around the world. However, the underlying variables that remain constant are – ‘the student’, ‘the teacher’, ‘the parent’ (in that order). Finnish Education In Practice – What, Why, and How is a beautifully penned and detailed book which every teacher across the world must read. Every page thoughtfully explains how the Finnish Education keeps the above-mentioned variables as their core. I was amazed to learn how the student’s journey from their early years till their upper secondary years, teacher’s journey from a teacher to a leader and the parent’s journey from a parent to an active facilitator in ensuring their child’s growth – are part of their national curriculum and school practices. The entire concept of pedagogical leadership gave me a different perspective on how leadership in schools or in any educational sector can be looked at. But, reading it once is not enough. The knowledge one gains from this book is immense and deep that you will be tempted to read it again! My heartfelt thanks and gratitude to all the authors of this book for sharing this with the entire world. More power to Finnish education leaders!!

    “Li wieħed jitgħallem-jitgħallem, huwa wisq aktar importanti mill-istess ‘tagħlim’ innifsu, għaliex li inti titgħallem kif għandek titgħallem isir proÄ‹ess intrinsiku fil-mod kif inti tibni ħajtek, il-mod konjittiv tiegħek, u lill-istess personalità tiegħek kemm meta din tkun waħedha, kif ukoll meta din tkun ma’ ħaddieħor. Il-Fillandja kisbet livell għoli fl-oqsma edukattivi varji, u r-riżultati jidhru u jidhru tajjeb ħafna f’għad ta’ eżamijiet internazzjonali. Għaldaqstant wieħed ma jagħmilx ħażin li jistudja u jidħol fil-fond ta’ dawn il-modi li huma ppreżentati minn din is-sistema ta’ tagħlim-tgħallim. M’hemmx dubju li pubblikazzjoni ta’ dan it-tip tiswa mitqlu deheb għal kull min hu parteÄ‹ipi, b’mod dirett u indirett f’dan il-proÄ‹ess tant importanti għall-ħajja tagħna bħala individwi kif ukoll fil-livell ta’ pajjiż.”
