BIBLIOGRAPHIC REVIEW ABOUT FINNISH EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM VERSUS SPANISH EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM

Abstract

The objectives of this work are: to compare the Finnish educational system with the Spanish one and to investigate the aspects that should be studied by Spain to improve its education considering that Finnish education has always been seen as one of the best ones, serving as a reference for many countries. As education embraces many fields, this argumentative bibliographic review will study those that the main researcher, during her stay at the ¿Oulu International School¿ in Finland while doing her internship period and through participatory observation, was able to contemplate that were the most relevant in terms of differences between both systems. Thanks to the information that has been collected throughout this study, it could be concluded that one of the key aspects of Finnish education is the teachers¿ formation, a feature that clearly differs from the Spanish education system, and that should be taken as a basis to improve Spanish education, apart from the implementation of education laws drafted by education professionals.
