Críticas

This book will give hope, vision, and strategies to anyone who is sincere in bringing a great education to every child. Pick it up and read it. --Education Week's BookMarks

Pasi Sahlberg as an insider knows what has happened and as a researcher has an objective perspective on cause and effect relationships. This story makes sense to me. --Olli-Pekka Heinonen, Director, Finnish Broadcasting Company and former Minister of Education (1994 1999)

Finland's remarkable educational story, so well told in this book by Pasi Sahlberg, is both informative and inspiring because it shows that with appropriate effort sustained over time, a country can make huge improvements for its young people, something that all countries aspire to do. --Ben Levin, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto

Reseña del editor

This is a first-hand, comprehensive account of how Finland built a world-class education system during the past three decades. It traces the evolution of education policies in Finland and highlights how they differ from other industrialised countries. It shows how rather than relying on competition, choice, and external testing of students, education reforms in Finland focus on professionalising teachers' work, developing instructional leadership in schools, and enhancing trust in teachers and schools.
