  3. This is a very interesting article Suzan. Thanks for posting it. It's interesting that there are more teachers and fewer students. I really think this is key to better education. Also, there is not such a focus on exams, so teachers are not always "teaching to the test" and students are not always judging themselves. What do you like / dislike about the Finnish system?
