We used to have the best education system yes but we don't any more and it's getting worse. The government keep saving money on the education system and it's really affecting the quality. Both my parents are teachers and they of course think it's horrible to see the results getting worse but they can't do anything since the big decisions are made on a national level. It's really a shame since the education system used to be something we could be proud of.

@is8550 6 жыл бұрын

Kai Sellgren it's not only these recent cuts, the cuts have been going gradually on for a long time now. No of course these cuts aren't the only reason but they surely doesn't help. Also, there have also been changes in how the teachers are supposed to work, nowadays they have to spend more time doing administration and paper work which takes up time from the education itself.

Next time you go between Helsinki and Tallinn and wanna do it for cheaper (no matter the season), you should definitely go on a big ferry with a car deck, they’re real cruise boats actually. For example Viking Line has really cheap tickets. Saving about 30€ is definitely worth the extra hour or so on board!

If there's a next time, you should visit Rauma! It's a small town in south west Finland that was born on 1442 and is famous for its handmade lace. The very centre of the town that is an UNESCO world heritage site. It even has its own dialect of Finnish! It's only a 3.5 hour drive from Helsinki to Rauma. If you do decide to visit the town, look into "pitsiviikko"(lace week) and "mustanpitsinyö"(black lace's night). On "mustanpitsinyö", there are stalls and booths all over the center of the town, from which you can by food, pastries, ice cream, candy and "metrilaku"( meter liqourice, so all kinds of liqourice that's 2.5 feet long!) and of course clothing and tourist stuff. A beauty pageant is also organized during lace week, and there are multiple free live music performances during black lace's night.
