Finland has long been at the forefront of educational change. The following are from their developing curriculum, in which this is the last year of their plan. They will have a new plan for the future. I can’t wait to see it.
Curriculum reform in Finland

More participatory, physically active, creative and linguistically enriched schools and integrated teaching and learning
We will work together to create better opportunities :
For educational work at schools
For meaningful learning for all pupils
For a sustainable future
The school will be developed both as a growth community and as a learning environment
Why? What? How?
• If you want to increase curiosity, allow questioning
• If you want to develop problem-solving skills, link school knowledge to real-life problems and encourage pupils to work together to seek solutions
• If you want to increase understanding, combine knowledge and skills from different subjects
• If you want to raise citizens who will develop society, promote inclusiveness and participation, give opportunities to make a difference, and facilitate positive - not negative - critical thinking
• If you want to strengthen learners' self-confidence and learning motivation, give constructive and honest feedback. Never humiliate or put down a learner.
Relationship of education and schools to a changing society
Strengthening the value basis
• Uniqueness of every child, and high quality education as the basic right
• Relationship with a changing society More detailed description of the tasks
• Tasks include both teaching and educating (raising up)
• Taking care of the completion of compulsory education of all students
• Basic education as a basis of a solid all-round education
• Solid foundation for all for entering upper secondary education To be considered in organising school work:
• Increasing need for cooperation, role and participation of pupils
• The educating and guiding influence of all school activities
• Importance of varied learning environments and, for example, opportunities for remote teaching
