The world’s best schools are in Finland

    Homeschooling in Finland,  the best educational system in the world

Education firm Pearson publishes a world ranking list of educational systems which is topped by Finland. It’s interesting that Sweden, Finland’s next door neighbor, doesn’t even make the top 20 and is also surpassed by nations like Russia and Hungary.

The study can detect that there is a correlation between results and spending, but it is not as important as the general attitude towards education. It is also interesting that of the top 20 countries it’s only one that has made homeschooling illegal, Germany. In Sweden homeschooling is also illegal,  but then again, Sweden did not make it to the list of the 20 best educational systems in the world.

Finland allows homeschooling and has the best educational system in the world. My conclusion based on this, is that the ban on homeschooling has nothing what so ever to do with quality of education. So what is the Swedish agenda, really?

In Sweden homeschooling is a crime and parents wanting to homeschool labeled as mentally challenged.
