(My favourite place for work in Turku)
If I compare my country and Finland, I can find a lot of similar objective and vision.
But if I chose this country, it is for find out different system and try new method for myself and who can help me for learn more and better.
In Finland like in France the school is free, the main objective is, every child can have a quality education, regardless of parent’s income, and help them for becoming an active citizen.
In Finland the only national exam it is the baccalaureate, but they have evaluation. During the first six years they have the same teacher, which can help children to have a good and strong bases. The mains objectives are the children learn how can they can think by themselves and assume their responsibility about their learning and knowledge. In France we do not have autonomy, or we develop it very late for me.
This autonomy starts very early and continue to develop during high school, we are becoming more and more autonomous as we progress in our study. In university you can chose to follow the lectures in English and for be admit in high school you must have a good level in English for example.
During the orientation week, they explained their functioning and it is very different if compare with Switzerland. In my school we have lot of lecture and sometimes we have group working. And our exam most of the time is individual with oral exam or written exam.
In Finland, you work for you and with your rhythm, it is your responsibility and they do not so much lecture.
And the other difference is the relation with teacher and student, in Finland they do not have a hierarchy, you can us the single you and they can call the teacher by their first name, you can be informal. In Switzerland like in France you cannot do this, you are a student and you can not be informal with teacher without their permission. In Switzerland we do not ask so many questions during the lecture, we wait for the end. Here I think we can do it.
I would like to bring back with a little of Finnish education system for mix with mine, it can be a good thing.
