students, and they have been surpassing us in education for years, yet they have no annual standardized tests, and the way they test for quality is assessments throughout the year. About 40 years ago, their school system got transformed as a key propellant of the country’s economic recovery plan. Finland had no idea how successful it would be until 2000, when the results from the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), revealed that the Finnish youth were the best readers in the…
