Finnish Lessons by Pasi Sahlberg
This is a first-hand, comprehensive account of how Finland built a world-class education system during the past three decades. It traces the evolution of education policies in Finland and highlights how they differ from other industrialised countries. It shows how rather than relying on competition, choice, and external testing of students, education reforms in Finland focus on professionalising teachers’ work, developing instructional leadership in schools, and enhancing trust in teachers and schools.Pasi Sahlberg is a Finnish educator who has worked in Finland as a schoolteacher, teacher-educator, and policymaker, as well as advising national education reforms around the world. Pasi has written and published more than a hundred articles and books on education and school development. Finnish Lessons: What Can the World Learn from Finland's Educational Change? is his best-selling book. He has won various education prizes, including the Grawemeyer Award in 2013 and the Lego Prize in 2016. Pasi is an Australian education policy professor at the University of New South Wales in Sydney.
