Finland has been changing their education system over the past 35 years to make their education system better. They have changed their education system to become very successful. When looking at the differences between the United States education system and Finland education system has obvious differences between the testing, the paths for the students to take, time management during school hours, and the environment of the classroom.

Yet, at the same time, Finland differs slightly from its Scandinavian cousins, as well as, being unique in the world arena.

Education is one of the cornerstones and pillars to the establishment and preservation of democracy. In history, countless scores of philosophers and political thinkers believed that only an educated citizenry can take on the quintessential task of upholding democracy.

Education is important in many cultures because it gives an opportunity to gain the skill which is needed to navigate in the world. It plays a crucial factor in all countries. Also, it is important in the country like Kazakhstan which is developing. The education system of Kazakhstan has changed a lot from the USSR’s collapsing. It was improved and modified. However, the result of PISA ranked the knowledge of the 15 years old students to 49th in 2012 (PISA 2012 Results in Focus, 2014). The ranking shows the education system of school needs an amelioration. Therefore, the Kazakhstani government requested technical assistance to improve the nation’s educational system in 2011(PISA 2012 Results in Focus, 2014). In response, the World Bank Group launched the Joint Economic Research Program, or JERP, in order to enhance the quality of education.

There is mistake that the way of teaching and requirements to teachers weren’t considered that could have improved the system.

As an example country for application its experience Finland was chosen because Finland’s way has significant implication for reformer, especially those who is facing the same problems. Finland

Success defines who one is, what one has done, and where one is headed. In today’s day and age, every country is in the fight to be the best of the best. This mindset of becoming the superlative holds a lot of value to a country’s leaders as they believe it will lead them and their people to be the frontrunners of the world. Education has long been an area in which countries feel indicates how successful they are and will be. As a result, countries continue to adapt new policies and methods to ensure that their country’s children are receiving a superior education. France, while not as widely known as Japan or the United States, continues to fight to become the best education system in the world.
