The first comment on this post is particularly astute. #Finland made great strides with the comprehensive school reforms of the 1960s and the teacher education reforms of the 1970s. #edchat #education #finnedchat #FinnishEducation #PISA2025 #PolicyBorrowing www.chadaldeman.com/p/remember-f...

This is something to keep in mind when viewing #PISA scores. The first comment on this post is particularly astute. I observed Finnish classrooms very early on, so soon after #OECDPISA started. There are many factors to consider regarding #FinnishEducation. www.chadaldeman.com/p/remember-f...

Interesting article about Finland's #PISA decline (published before the release of 2025 scores). Lack of support for gifted students was a finding in my doctoral research (now many years ago!). #OECD #education #edchat #finnedchat #FinnishEducation #Finland #Suomi #OECDPISA yle.fi/a/74-20176839
