Finnish teacher education is renowned for its excellent quality.
Teachers in Finland are highly trained and the profession is respected. All teachers are required to have a Master’s degree.
Karoliina Salonen, a class teacher trainee and Sirkku Myllyntausta, who works as Lecturer and Teacher training Coordinator, prepare a training lesson together. Apart from theoretical studies, several training periods form a part of the teacher education programme in the Faculty of Education at the University of Helsinki.
The teacher practice takes place in the Viikki Teacher Training School in Helsinki, which serves as the teacher training school for future teachers.
Special thanks to Karoliina Salonen and Sirkku Myllyntausta and primary class 5A in the Vikki Teacher Training School.

International studies once showed that Finnish student performance was below average. The Government wanted improvement and sent educators around the world to see what worked in other countries. The government decided to abolish their selective system and grammar schools were replaced with comprehensive schools. The Government decided to have mixed ability classes with no streaming or setting.
