They invest in childhood education​

Before memorizing their times tables, kids simply learn how to be kids—how to play with one another respectfully, how to mend emotional wounds—and Finnish law actually requires teachers to give students 15 minutes of play for every 45 minutes of work.

They invest in childhood education​

Numerous studies have found that students who have regular recess intervals behave better in school and do better on assignments. Plus, there’s way less homework so kids have time to learn from, and spend time with, their families.

Unconventional in the best way possible​

Cooperation is valued over competition, teachers issue their own tests instead of standardized ones, teachers are well-valued and well-paid, and the system is adaptable, open to experimentation, and takes current research seriously.

Dish drying closets​

Astiankuivauskaappi, or dish drying closets, are a Finnish kitchen staple and consist of shelving above the sink that, instead of having a solid bottom, are made of wire racks so that dishes can drip dry. Time, energy, and cost effective!

Their warm, wholesome cuisine​

The food is generally simple, fresh, and healthy, revolving around staples like wholemeal products, meat, berries, milk, and root vegetables. The Karelian pie (pictured) is a traditional Finnish dish made of a thin rye crust filled with a savory porridge-like stuffing (usually rice and potato), and covered with a boiled egg and butter mixture.
