Phenomenon-based
Learning
Reality:With the new basic school reform all children will learn viaperiods looking at broader topics, such as the EuropeanUnion, community and climate change, or 100 years of
Finland’s independence, which would bring inmulti-disciplinary modules on languages, geography,
sciences and economics.
Rumors:Math, History, English and Art will be abandoned.

SchoolDecides TheProgrammes
Education governance is highly decentralized, givingFinland’s 320 municipalities significant amount of freedomto arrange schooling according to the local circumstances. Central government issues legislation, tops up local funding of schools, and provides a guiding framework for wha
t schools should teach and how.
Finland’s National Curriculum Framework is a loose common standard that steers curriculum planning at the le
vel of the municipalities and their schools. It leaveseducators freedom to find the best ways to offer good
teaching and learning to all children. Therefore, practicesvary from school to school and are often customized to
local needs and situations.

StudentInvolved InLessonDesign
NCF 2016 states that students must be involved in the
planning of phenomenon-based study periods and that they
must have voice in assessing what they have learned from it.
Finland’s students will be involved in planning these new,
interdisciplinary projects, and will be expected to evaluate
their success.

FOCUS
To prepare students of future working life.The reforms reflect growing calls in the UK – not least from the Confederation of British Industry and Labor's Shadow Education Secretary Tristram Hunt – for education to promote
character, resilience and communication skills, rather than just pushing children through “
exam factories”.
Our way of teaching is outdatedSubject-specific lessons – an hour of history in the morning, an hour of geography in the af
ternoon – are already being phased out for 16-year-olds in the city’s upper schools.
Kids listen to lectures, take standardized tests, are issued standardized report cards and do
n’t get enough free play during recess.

of our key aims in the reform” Irmeli Halinen, head of curriculum development at the Finnish National Board of Education
