This episode I have wanted to do for a long while. But I wanted to wait  until my son had finalized his first first year in school here in Australia. In this episode I talk about the differences about schools in Finland and in Australia. I talk about the age kids start, how long are their school weeks, do they get school work, what about teachers? How do you become a teacher in Finland, what is free in the Finnish school system (and there is few things that are ) and what I would hope Finnish schools would take on board from Australia.

I know that every country has their cultural beliefs and customs but I wanted to share to those mothers out there who are struggling to understand their local system and those who are just interested to hear how school is done in other countries how my home country Finland have set up the most amazing education system copied and talked around the globe. 

I talk about

-What age kids start school

-Is there any homework for the kids?

-What is the concept of Finnish School?

-What makes Finnish Schools different to schools in Australia?

-Its all about the teachers
