In a connected yet divided world, inequalities in access can result in significant differences in educational outcomes. Particularly in the global south or the developing world, investment in education is seen as a key to a better future. It is only through education and knowledge that personal development can lead to institutional changes, ultimately shaping the growth of nations.

Finland, despite its small population, has built an almost ideal educational environment for its people. Their educational journey starts not just from early childhood education, but from a broader societal perspective on education. It stems from the belief that only through education can we succeed. This foundation has led to results that many other countries have struggled to achieve. A key highlight of Finland’s education system is its ability to enable even the slowest learners to succeed on a global scale, compared to other countries.

Today, Finland’s approach to education is studied and adapted in various customized forms in over fifty countries worldwide. This educational success has also played a tremendous role in shaping Finnish society to adopt an evidence-based approach in most decisions and produce highly qualified individuals who are free to explore and change the world.

The city of Jyväskylä in central Finland has played a significant role in this journey, with its first-ever Finnish teacher training seminar launched in 1863.

Today, located in the heart of Jyväskylä, Prime Education Finland aims to bring Finland’s educational achievements to a larger audience. We familiarize interested parties with the Finnish education system, providing a comparative perspective that highlights key differences from other educational environments. We offer various forms of familiarization, including 1-7 days of training and capacity building for teachers, teacher trainers, and educational managers. We follow up with relevant educational materials and foster an ecosystem of cooperation between various educational institutions. If you’re interested in learning and adopting the best aspects of Finnish education in practice, we would be happy to collaborate with you.
