Subtitles section Play video Print subtitles the film's educational system yes so so fascinating so about three decades ago Finland has educational system that's doing terribly and a look around ago okay what we gonna do about this rate we had a revamp the whole thing and they decide for whatever reason you know at the it republicans here would call them in a no good social center that they're gonna focus on equality I know it's crazy to democracy and it's not a quality results because they didn't even do test they don't do any testing until age sixty okay so no senate I says the answer equality of opportunity they said no matter if you're poor or richer in the middle our objective is to reach equality of opportunity and by the way in this amazing would make republican heads explode here in the US no we are non a going to achieve it we're not going to try for excellence already like in america it's like me what no I don't we just want everybody to have a fair chance right they got rid of competitiveness within their schools yes they're focusing so much on pressuring them you got to be the best you've got to be the greatest you gotta score the highest on the standardized tests like no where you step back we're gonna let you discover what you're passionate about and follow your dreams okay now it gets crazy yeah a way to see there's a okay they said you know what who kindergarten preschool canceling it you're not allowed to go to school to your Sep you know why kiss kiss should be kept me heads exploding here in America nobody could okay guess Yap weirder by americans this no private schools lot none everybody has to go to public school okay and but what a competition how you have come to no we're not gonna happen get this we're gonna pay our teachers a decent wage okay and we're gonna require them now they're not getting paid outraged okay they're just said the summit right but you know it's a if the family so they get health care et cetera said and also keep in mind they changed the role of teachers they became much more prestigious like it was it was it like oh your teacher whatever your big making nickels and dimes like oh my god US teacher now so is this another mine exploding up teachers are now it's hard to get into the school to be a teacher that it is to get into school to be a lawyer or doctor okay and a half to get a master's degree and then they could become a teacher and its revered in the this aside okay no senate I says until you're sixty I and the list goes on and on so they're not even participating in international task as they like passer earth are silly which I find out with these kids wanna do and and give them an opportunity to do well right and in in the medium the 2008 he was 2000-2001 the at no go right you know what that says think the kids at the end here yeah it was a Pisa study the pieces to a test okay so let's listen to them in there and see what happens we don't expect number one in the world number one in the world any so I MUST been a fluke even a the finish thought it must be an accident we're not even trying fractions were just trying to get if people a fair chance right so they retested several times not that year in is suing News consistently top three in the world the others are Singapore South Korea where they were going to consider particular area or gay and they're succeeding and that's a different way of doing it and look and that's a you know I one can argue about what's a better way to go but so endemic the guy who's ahead other education it Department basically Reggie Smith succumbs electricity in the US is a hilarious story that landed he's explaining the Americans we don't do competition the Americans like alright so anyway how do you compete the know but we no we do cooperation like book anyway so I will you private schools up to though we don't have private schools is that okay so anyway a private schools okay no but we don't have private schools like he's exploiting the system and it's not getting into their head like the Americans like better so anyway the bottom line is what a more competition right he's on expect no but that is not the bottom line is the exact opposite the bottom line and so the end he's written a book about it entered and they say america's trying to learn from the finish 10 but of course win the New York Times coverage of that story so different article I they quote some body from a conservative think tanks a all you can't you can't new the finished model here are the same is a totally different situation I hate you know who number one they're much smaller will we do education state by state so compared to one of our States about the same size Kentucky Kentucky disaster Finland top of the world right okay to lose all or no and I love this code word they've a more homogeneous assign you know that means this code word for well they're all white okay will soak or so you all really so then you know what which is their next door neighbor same exact at this is same exact homogeneous aside they use American model disaster this core near the bottom he so what now what now is we're never gonna change no behind you can on america's the story you know what they say well our education system I thousand rivals but it's the best one in the world rubble wall other but wait a minute in a testy like number fifty new number nineteen your disasters are portable wall her new job you were sacked you were set
