Finnish Lessons
We're back! And we're headed into the classroom. Kids across Europe have very different experiences of school depending on where they live and how rich their parents are. One country that's been praised for getting public education right is Finland. This week we speak to education professor Pasi Sahlberg about what the world can learn from the Finnish way.
We're also talking about Orbán's victory, bridging Europe's North-South divide, and a particularly special edition of El Clásico.
Pasi is Professor of Education at Southern Cross University. You can read more about his work here and follow him on Twitter here.
You can read the joint Spain-Netherlands paper here and find Politico's reporting on it here.
