Education in Finland
Finland is outperforming everyone else. All Finnish teachers are treated like professionals, when people ask us how do you know that students are learning, we say, ask the teacher, they will know, just as you would ask a Doctor how well a patient is doing, he/she will know. Finland is a place where Teacher's are appreciated.
