FINLAND: “It’s time to come up with new innovations”

This episode  talks about how to sustain and scale change in education. The role of autonomy, entrepreneurialism, teachers and students in change making AND why we should never forget the greats in pedagogical thinking. 

In this episode: Sanni Grahn-Laasonen, Pia Pakarinen, Pasi Sahlberg and Ilona Taimela

 Ip Kin-yuen is a member of the Legislative Council of Honkong for Education Constituency and a Chief Executive for Hongkong Professional  Teachers' Union. He visited Finland and Ilona Taimela, and he wrote about  Finnish Education. We also had the pleasure of visiting him in Hongkong in the parliament.  

Speaking after the Unleash! Forum for Educators in Learning and Teaching Expo in December, Ilona Taimela, an Educational Consultant for the Helsinki Education Consulting Group, explained how the education system works in Finland. 

" It is very different from what I have seen in Hong Kong, China, The UK or Australia,"...

"Ellos tienen que ser responsables de su propio aprendizaje para que sean autosificientes como trabajadores" remarca Taimela.

 "Il mondo non si ferma e nemmeno noi", rispondono sorprese della domanda la pedagoga Ilona Taimela.
