As well as research into education, the department also provides teacher training for primary and secondary teachers. 
The department also hosts seminars and public lectures taken by nationally distinguished speakers in the field of education.
Always a top finisher on rankings of the world’s best higher education systems, Finland was recently declared to be “a miracle of education” by the World Bank. On Universitas 21’s assessment of the world’s top universities, meanwhile, Finland claimed top spot when levels of GDP per capita were taken into account -- scoring well above expectations given its income level.
All of which begs the question: What makes Finland so special? Here’s a closer look.
Making Sense of Finland’s Success
A recent Business Insider article featured four ways Finland’s innovative education system excels, including the following points.
1. It eschews standardized testing.
While students in the US regularly take standardized tests to track their performance, Finnish students take just one during their entire time in primary and secondary school. Called the National Matriculation Exam, this teacher-graded test measures yields much more than a score. It measures general academic maturity and is viewed as “a sign of being a mature, educated person in Finnish society,” according to Valerie Strauss for The Washington Post.
Finnish Lessons author Pasi Sahlberg says of the test, “Students are regularly asked to show their ability to cope with issues related to evolution, losing a job, dieting, political issues, violence, war, ethics in sports, junk food, sex, drugs, and popular music. Such issues span across subject areas and often require multidisciplinary knowledge and skills."
