Finnish Lessons 3.0 Summary

Finnish Lessons 3.0: What Can the World Learn from Educational Change in Finland? by Pasi Sahlberg

The first two editions of Finnish Lessons described how a small Nordic nation built a school system that provided access to a world-class education for all of its young people. Now available in 30 languages, this Grawemeyer Awardwinning book continues to influence education policies and school practices around the globe. In this Third Edition, Pasi Sahlberg updates the story of how Finland sustains its exemplary educational performance, including how it responds to turbulent changes at home and throughout the world. Finnish Lessons 3.0 includes important new material about:
  • teachers and teacher education
  • teaching children with special needs
  • the role of play in high-quality education
  • Finland's responses to growing inequality, slipping international test scores, and the global pandemic

In the midst of national education reforms and global changes driven by public health crises and economic turbulence, Finnish Lessons 3.0 encourages teachers, students, and policymakers to think big and bold when they look for new solutions to improving their schools and entire education systems. This edition provides an even deeper dive into the present world of education in Finland in light of the most recent education statistics and international data, including PISA 2018, TIMSS 2016, and TALIS 2018.

"For both educators and non-educators alike, Finnish Lessons 2.0 poses provocative ideas for reflection when contemplating the necessary inputs that contribute to educational success." - Teachers College Record

"The story of Finnish educational success as told by Sahlberg in the slim volume Finnish Lessons is remarkablethis is an important book and educators need to read it." - Educational Researcher

"Finnish Lessons 2.0 is compelling and well-written. It will be of particular interest to those involved in developing education policy, although the book is also highly accessible and should be recommended reading for principals, teachers and parentseven in Finland." - Limina: A Journal of Historical and Cultural Studies

"Sahlbergs work is enlightening in that it espouses an education system that is different from many other systems in advanced countries across the world and provides solid background on the historical context that allowed Finlands education system to transform into a powerhouse." - Education Review

"If you are interested in how to help your students be better citizens and part of a dynamic society, please read Finnish lessons 2.0." - British Journal of Educational Technology

"What I find encouraging in Sahlbergs book is his recurring note that no matter how dismal a countrys system may seem, there is hope and room for reform." - Philippine Daily Inquirer

"Sahlbergs book contains important lessons for a broad range of academics, educators, politicians, and the public." - Science

"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

"With Version 3.0 of Finnish Lessons, Pasi Sahlberg has made yet another invaluable contribution to creating education policies based on teacher professionalism, trust, respect, equality, and student engagement. The Finnish example offers a real alternative to the punitive education accountability systems found in far too many parts of the world. Every policymaker, parent, and teacher should read this book." - Tony Wagner, senior research fellow, Learning Policy Institute
