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. 

EQ World map / Världens känslor

FOR ENGLISH SCROLL DOWN

Gallup har tagit fram en karta som visar känsloläget i världen rapporteras det om i engelskspråkiga medier. Det ser inte bra ut för Singapore som rapporteras ha känslomässiga problem, eller som det heter på engelska ”känslomässigt utmanade.”

Här kan man gå in och roa sig med en interaktiv världskarta och se hur det står till med Sveriges grannländer. En besvikelse att Norge inte har deltagit i undersökningen. Ryssarna hetsar inte upp sig i onödan enligt studien.

I Finland är man tydligen mer känslosam än i Sverige, där ser man, och vem hade kunnat tro att Sverige är mer känslosamt än Italien? Undersökningen visar också att USA uppvisar stor förmåga att erfara känslor.


ENGLISH

Gallup has produced a map showing the emotional state of the world, it is reported in the English-speaking media. It does not look good for Singapore reported to have emotional problems, or as it is called in English "emotionally challenged."

You can go in and have fun with an interactive map of the world and see how things are with Sweden's neighboring countries. It's disappointing that Norway has not participated in the survey. The Russians are no drama queens according to the study.

Finland is apparently more emotional than Sweden, how’bout that, and who would have thought that Sweden is more emotional than Italy? The survey also shows that the U.S. has a great ability to experience emotions.
