The country with the best education in the world is Finland. For four consecutive years, the country in Northern Europe was among the first places in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), which measures the quality of education. The secret of this success, according Jaana Palojärvi, director of the Ministry of Education and Culture of Finland, has nothing to do with revolutionary teaching methods, use of technology in the classroom or exams as gigantic Enem or Enade. On the contrary: Finland exempts national races and betting on the value of the teacher and the freedom to work for him.
Jaana Palojärvi was in São Paulo on Thursday (23) to attend a seminar on the education system of Finland, in the White River College. The director of the ministry is proud of the image of his country "four-time" of Pisa. The ranking is drawn up by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), and applied every three years with an emphasis on an area of ​​knowledge. At last, in 2010, Brazil was in 53th place among 65 countries. A new edition of Pisa will be released in December.

In Finland education is free, including higher education. Only 2% of the schools are private, but are subsidized by public funds and the students do not pay tuition. The kids just entering school from the age of 7. There are schools full-time, however, the journey is short, 4-7 pm, and students do not have a lot of homework. "We also have fewer school days than other countries, we believe that quantity is not quality," says Jaana.
The director believes that the Finnish education system has undergone two major changes, one in the 70 and another at 90. From the beginning of the 90's, education was decentralized and municipalities, schools and especially teachers have greater autonomy.
"Faith and trust are fundamental role in the Finnish system. Decentralize, we support and trust, so that the system works. Control does not motivate teachers to give their best.'s Simple, we are pragmatic, like things simple."

The government also does not typically inspect the teaching of the 3,000 schools that serve 55,000 students in basic education. The material used and the curriculum are free, so it can vary greatly from one unit to another.
"Teachers plan lessons, choose methods. No national event, we do not believe in testing, we are more interested in learning. Teachers have a lot of autonomy, but need to be well qualified. This is a desired profession in Finland."
Teachers in Finland earn, on average, 3000 euros per month, around £ 8000 real wages considered a "medium" for the country. To conquer the vacancy you must have master's degree and undergo training. The salary increases according to the time of the teacher's home, but no bonuses awarded on merit. The pay is not considered high. "In return, we offer the teacher a work environment interesting."
Teachers have a lot of autonomy, but need to be well qualified. This is a desired profession in Finland "
Jaana Palojärvi, director of the Ministry of Education in Finland:
Jaana says education in Finland is part of a culture, the result of a long job, but simple, but avoids giving lessons or advice to other nations. "We have many differences compared to Brazil, which is huge, we are a small country of 5.5 million inhabitants. In Finland we do not have the figure of the State, is the relationship between government, municipality and school. System is very different. Finland does not want to give advice, we are reluctant much about it, "he says.
More than the good result of the country in Pisa, Jaana celebrates equity between schools - also indicated by the exam. "For us, it is the most important. Want that rural schools located in the forests, or the North that are under the snow in a negative temperature of 25 degrees, have the same performance of the capital, the elite areas. E (this performance) is very similar. "

Model country in education, Finland has 'master' in technical education
Among all the countries tested by Pisa, Finland has the lowest disparity between schools. The result has explanation. There, weaker students are being targeted teachers. "Teachers do not devote much attention to good students, but the weak, we can not lose them, we keep them in the system."
"Technology is a tool, content '
Technology is not the strongest of Finnish schools, which prefer to invest in people. "Not much like technology, it is only a tool, not the content itself. Technology can be used or not, is a key factor for learning."

Basic education lasts nine years. Only 2% of students repeat the year, the completion rate is 99.7%. The secret of success is not linked to investment, according Jaana, which reinforces that the country invests only 6% of its GDP in the segment. "The education system does not come free so expensive, it's a matter of organization," said the director of the ministry of Finland was on Tuesday (21) at a public hearing in the Committee on Education and Culture of the Senate in Brasilia, to present the model of education their country to Brazilian parliamentarians.
