When English and Music teacher Michael Lawrence visited Finnish schools in 2017, many teachers asked him why Australia used a test like NAPLAN to assess students, particularly young ones.
That experience, plus the Finnish children's interest in learning, convinced Lawrence to write a book on the topic, entitled Testing 3, 2, 1: What Australia can learn from Finland's education system. It is supported by a bulk of personal observations and evidence, and is due for release in April.
