Explore the Finnish school system through MOOCs in Spring 2021
Due to the pandemic situation, the PISA 2021 is postponed, but Finland's goals in education are still high. For example, the Finnish government wants to increase the level of education so that half of those aged 25–34 have higher education degree in 2030. The foundation to this is laid in childhood and adolescence, says Päivi Kananen, the International Coordinator at JYUOpen.
"To reach this goal, there must be good base on which to build. It ensures the development of diverse learning skills during the school years. Finnish school system is carefully planned and it is regularly renewed, which means that although we aim to be up to date, we also have a solid background in the national curriculum," Kananen says.
Finnish education system has high quality, which is influenced by many different factors. In Spring 2021, JYUOpen offers five MOOCs (massive online open courses), which will lead you through Finnish school system. Every MOOC gives different perspectives to the factors of Finnish education:
- EDUO101 Early childhood education in Finland: What, where and how? (1 ECTS)

- EDUO103 Educational support and guidance services in Finland (1 ECTS)
- EDUO104 Educational Leadership (1 ECTS)
- EDUO1006 Upper Secondary Education (1 ECTS)
You can either specialize in certain area by studying the courses that are most interesting and relevant, or you can get an overall picture of Finnish school system by doing all the five MOOCs. Study fee is 15 € / 1 ECTS.
